A curious thing -- trying to run 'strace ./skype' works, while trying
to attach to a running Skype fails ("Permission denied"). I assume it's
an strace bug, though; not an antidebugging technique.

As to sneaking in, the Skype executable is encrypted, so whoever
plans to disassemble it for interop reasons will have to overcome this
little obstacle as well. Looks like those guys really hate us "freedom
people"...

Oh, and it works great on my Debian box (Sid; with Qt 3.3 experimental
packages) ... in an isolated account, of course :)
