The problem is really nvidia drivers. I tryed to forward a similar bug in
the past to the glibc maintainers but It fails. I hope it will work this
time.

Dear glibc maintainers I do not know if the severity is very well
setted, however I would really like to know why nvidia and the behaviour 
that Eduard described break xmms.

If you prefer, you can duplicate the bug repport and reassign it to
xmms and/or nvidia.

Cheers,
