The problem remains in Skype™ Version 4.3.0.37.
It seems like the application tries to get access to not allocated memory, for
sometimes it freezes but not just crashes. So I think that the problem may
depend on what I have done with the application before sending the file, i.e.
on the history.
My apologies for getting back to this bug after a long time. Here is
what I've to share that I had come across some months back but could not
find enough time to report it here (glad I'm doing it now). Though I

Pardon for delay.
I have never used tracing, so after a bit of googling and reading a
couple of man pages, got apport-retrace tool installed from ubuntu
software center.
Launched skype, tried to send the file, skype crashed, crash report
generated in /var/crash, used apport-retrace -o Skypetrace
It's ok, no problem!
Maybe wiping out your .Skype directory helps?
try
mv ~/.Skype ~/.Skype.backup

Just did what you suggested. Removed the ~/.Skype directory.
No change. As soon as I try to select a file (to send) from file

** Description changed:
Skype application crashes when sending files (no matter small or big).
The other side is MS Windows.
Strange, that it was not replicated on your side though on 64 bit.
Anyways, I have downloaded and installed debian version 4.0.0.8 with
clean home directory.
Replicated the scenario and BANG.
It crashed the same way. :(
