I've noticed that the driver available at the nvidia website is:
Version: 260.19.12 Certified
Release Date: 2010.10.13
Operating System: Linux 64-bit
Language: English (U.S.)
File Size: 45.7 MB

This driver is from 2010.10.13, after the bug was reported. But I've also tested with this 260.19.12 version, and the error remains. A black screen after rebooting. So we need to wait a little bit more.
