I expect the application to start up without a problem and the window to popup offering a graphical user interface.
Details:
The application which exhibits this behavior is from the static code analyzer package Mathworks PolySpace R2009b (C/C++, V3) prerelease. Starting the viewer /usr/local/PolySpace/PolySpace_Common/Viewer/bin/polyspace-viewer first shows a loading dialog, and when the progress bar reaches the right end, a window with the GUI is rendered. The application is written in JAVA.

4)
Just when the progress bar of the loading dialog reaches the end and the window with the GUI is imminent to open, the mouse pointer freezes and after one minute the system reboots.
The freeze does not happen with the Open Source nv driver. Maybe an update of the nVidia driver package to a more recent version helps.
With the older nVidia 173.14.16 driver (offered by jockey), there is no system freeze, but the GUI is not rendered correctly: the window is filled with one color but hovering the mouse over the window shows that the GUI dialog elements are there, just not visible.
