As I mentioned yesterday I believe this to be an attack on the skype object list cmd parameter in certain versions of skype for windows. More to come on that.
Skype is not answering these questions yet but I'm sure PR will produce the trigger and not engineering. This will require an update to skype because one fault lies in the static supernode list which points to these suspect versions of skype which still remain offline. I'm completing a skype UDP probe tool to gather statistics that should give more insight into what nodes failed and perhaps why they remain down.
