Package: nvidia-driver
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Some appliactions that has AppArmor profile defined produces DENIED log
entries for strange `/home/vincas.nv/` paths:

```
type=AVC msg=audit(1516647002.968:744): apparmor="DENIED"
operation="mkdir" profile="thunderbird" name="/home/vincas.nv/"
pid=23705 comm="thunderbird" requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c"
fsuid=1000 ouid=1000
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1516647002.968:744): arch=c000003e syscall=83
success=no exit=-13 a0=7f81fc94ac20 a1=1ff a2=1 a3=1 items=0 ppid=23694
pid=23705 auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000 euid=1000 suid=1000 fsuid=1000
egid=1000 sgid=1000 fsgid=1000 tty=pts2 ses=4 comm="thunderbird"
exe="/usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin" key=(null)
```

This reproduces for me when I run application via `optirun` to enable 
NVIDIA discrete graphics. It does not reproduce if I run on integrated
Intel graphics.

After creating directory in question and setting appropriate permissions,
running application again produces these kind of files:

```
$ ls -a /home/vincas.nv/
.  ..  .glEHt9Vu  .glMKQk7L  .glMWvlTf
```

It looks like a path concatination bug.
