Subscribed Ubuntu Sponsors for main as I'm not a core-dev and will require a sponsor to upload.

I verified the fix. It can go into edgy-updates now.

I used the callsign/password that I also used in the forum to connect. The second connect gave me a segfault.
After applying the update I was able to connect/disconnect 10 times without a single segfault.

I will mark this verification-done.
