The new driver really seems to have a major problem. I figured out that you just need an image with 2047px width to screw up the driver.
ATTENTION: This can crash your X server and corrupt memory!
Example: [1], an otherwise harmless picture. Every picture with the same width will work, too. I could trigger the bug at least with Firefox, Midori, Epiphany and EOG. It looks like some applications like Chromium alter the size, so they don't trigger it.

Works fine using the nvidia 275.09.07-1 package using nVidia 9600 GT. However the image is black, which is, I suppose, a bug in Firefox. I'm seeing this issue with some images straight from the camera for a quite a long time and only in firefox. Actually, I can open 30+Mpix images in firefox without problems. Lukas
