I have the same issue here but I discovered that, if I run a 3D program like celestia, nexuiz or even a 3d screensaver like one with the wireframe ant, the problem vanishes with a -39 kernel. In a discussion with Chris Van Hoof today he tells me he thinks the new kernel just masks the error but, at least to the user's POV it actually solves it for the common applications the users run. I kept nexuiz running for more than 2 hours and haven't noticed a single freeze.
I would like to ask the priority to be raised as this can affect many new systems.
