New Debian packages of 96.43.18 are available in unstable. If you want to 
switch, first use the Nvidia uninstaller to remove the driver installation 
made with the Nvidia installer.

The bug itself seems to be in the proprietary driver, so we can't to anything 
about it. You may want to report this problem to upstream following Nvidia's 
bug reporting instructions: 
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=46678
As you'll have to run their nvidia-bug-report.sh script, we can't forward the 
issue to upstream for you. In case you submit a bug report upstream, please 
leave a note (and an URL) here, so we can mark this report as forwarded to 
upstream.
