Further examination of the process map shows that the fault address (0x406fcee8) belongs to a portion of memory associated with the file "/tmp/glNSpQ5n (deleted)".
I am inclined to think that this file belongs to the proprietary nVidia drivers: I heard several times that they need /tmp to be executable otherwise they won't work correctly, so probably they place part of their stuff there to be loaded by executables. Maybe I'll try again to use older drivers and check if I get some result.
