Send some text causes an endless loop - Ubuntu 11.10

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Try to click on the "Send some text" button, on Ubuntu 11.10 x86

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The windows version popup with a simple window where a writing-cursor blinks. 
In the linux version, all the resources start to get wasted and no popups 
appears. After a while, the system hang, becoming unresponsive. The hang has 
been cleared forcefully causing a shutdown of the system. This has lead to some 
problems with networkmanager, that didn't manage to find the ethernet profile, 
after the reboot.

Ubuntu 11.10 x86, Dukto R4.
