Skype for Linux, when updated to 4.3, from 4.2, brings up a big problem to many of the users who heavily rely on their Skype chat histories for a reason.

This is an issue which occurs due to the maximum number of open files allowed for a process (mysql in this case) being very less that what is required - something that happens because you have lots of large tables / a large DB. To fix this, you just have to increase the limits in a few places.
