>From what I see in the backtrace /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 is still used,
and this file is provided by the nvidia driver. The call to
gettimeofday() is done from this file, and there is a lot of chances
that the bug is located there.
You can run "dpkg -S /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1" to know which package
provides this file. If there is no result, then it may come from a
manual installation of the nvidia drivers.

That seems to confirm that the problem is specific to your system. Such
a problem would have been reported more than once otherwise.
