The problem is related to the nVIDIA kernel module for AGP -- if you
don't use their proprietary driver you will not see this condition
arise.  The problem is not use of an nVIDIA card, but use of their
driver for 3D accelerated rendering with that card.
Knowing the kernel version you're using without the driver version does
not help much (but I suspect you are not using the driver in question).
