That bug can be avoided if you build without the opengl vsync option.
The debian packages were rebuilt without that option and then my machine
stopped crashing when I go to the live tv program guide.  It was quite
annoying that is for sure.  I suspect it is a bug in nvidia's drivers
that doesn't like xvideo and opengl with vsync enabled at the same time
or something like that.

I wonder if anyone has asked nvidia about it.  Seems easy enough to
reproduce.
