Not sure if this is related to your problem, but I used to experience 
random crashing with OpenGL.. Turns out someone (probably me when I 
upgrade xorg) overwrite /usr/lib/libGL* with non NVidia compatible libs.

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      21 Nov  3 16:51 libGLcore.so.1 -> 
libGLcore.so.1.0.7676*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 7794936 Nov  3 16:51 libGLcore.so.1.0.7676*
-rw-r--r--  1 root root     653 Nov  3 16:51 libGL.la
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      10 Nov  3 16:51 libGL.so -> libGL.so.1*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      17 Nov  3 16:51 libGL.so.1 -> 
libGL.so.1.0.7676*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  518220 Nov  3 16:51 libGL.so.1.0.7676*

Your /usr/lib/libGL* files should look something like this (I'm using 
the 7676 drivers). If it already does, then my solution probably doesn't 
work for you.
