[Daniel van Vugt <vanvugt@xxxxxxxxx>]

The root cause of this bug is the final removal of BKL from the Linux kernel:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.36.y.git;a=commitdiff;h=b19dd42faf413b4705d4adb38521e82d73fa4249

The change first appeared in kernel 2.6.36 and possibly later versions
of ubuntu kernel 2.6.35.

NVIDIA have implemented a fix in their later driver versions:
Users of nvidia-96 need version 96.43.19 or later.
Users of nvidia-current need version 260.19.06 or later.

260.19.06 really does seem to be the earliest instance of the fix I can
find for nvidia-current. It seems the fix was never implemented in 195.*

Users of Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) might find success if they can install the maverick version 260.19.06:

** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-96 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed
