I can verify this happens with both Nvidia proprietary drivers versions: 169.12+2.6,24,13-19.42 driver in Hardy Heron and 173.14.05 (from Nvidia's site)
I am running:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ 2.6.24-19-generic NVidia GeForce 7800 GS
When I switch to open-source 'nv' driver, the system will not crash.
It is very difficult to reproduce as the lockup happens completely randomly.
Once when it crashed while I was on console, I saw errors with respect to SMP_APIC_TIMER and such.
It could be a SMP bug in Nvidia proprietary driver.
