hi ben,

maybe your problems are because there is a problem with glibc, TLS and the
nvidia glx drivers, it all depends on what u are running on. i recently
downgraded my testing to stable again because of this issue (poor linux
mans solution :-). if u google for "nvidia TLS bug" u might get a picture.
i m using latest drivers with debian stable without complains.
you still might try to compile the nvidia drivers with 
--force-tls=no or classic ? i cant recall 
(look it up with  ./sh NVIDIA-whatever -A)
one reason i also downgraded again was that all the sudden my feedback 
patches got really slow (but was just visible by snapping 1024*1024)
, why and how and what i had no time to investigate. 
best
