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.
I can confirm crash of Xorg with Firefox 4 on Nvidia GT218 with 275.09.7 drivers. Epiphany displays weird artefacts, but does not crash. Opera and Chrome are OK. Looks like only Gecko has these problems.
