To make it short, the crash has disappeared and I do not know why. I
could not find any changes in Ekiga's or Opal's GIT/SVN which would
directly address this issue. In the meantime I upraded the Mingw runtime
and switched to speex 1.2rc1 as Eugene suggested. My ekiga.exe depends
on the speex dlls but Opal contains its own speex code which is also
used. I think I will investigate later.
