I found the latest nvidia port/driver too unstable to use; I backrev'd
to the previous driver which has resolved the crashes.  However I've
seen significant regressions in the nvidia driver in HEAD over the past
9 months or so; so much so that I'm considering replacing my card w/
something else (I've got an AGP Quadro NVS for my dual-head DVI displays
so require the binary driver).
