X server hangs in wheezy and 319.17 driver

Hello,
I've been using the non-free driver for awhile.
I upgraded to wheezy and found that X would crash on me when I was quitting
chrome, for example.
I, then, installed the 319.17 driver directly from nvidia. Found that it
was also crash-y.
I removed their driver and installed your experimental packaging of 319.17.

I was able to cause my X server to crash by entering into an xterm:
"glxinfo; glxinfo; glxinfo"
You can see some messages like: (WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (0, 6, 0x8000,
0x00007a2c, 0x00007a2c)
in the Xorg.log that I'm attaching.

Seems like it's probably a bug in NVIDIA's driver. I'm expecting my X
server to crash the next time I quit chrome, so I'm operating under an
assumption that my upgrade is not stable.

Is this useful to you?
Should I contact NVIDIA? (how? who?)
