I don't see how one can magically tell that this is an NVIDIA problem.
I am contacting NVIDIA at the same time and it's possible that the
problem is with their drivers. However, there is something going on
in the kernel and I imagine that even if the NVIDIA drivers are
triggering the problem, there are other modules/apps that can bring
about the same behavior.
