Each time I try to select a region (either rectangular or ellipsoidal), Gimp crashes at the first clic and closes X session.

Here is an extract of the .xsession-errors file :
gimp-2.6: Fatal IO error 11 (Ressource temporairement non disponible) on X server :0.0.
Exception in thread Thread-1:

This may be a bug with the nvidia driver.
