Bug#587149: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: X segfault and kernel oops when displaying large images

[Gabriel Kerneis <kerneis@pps.jussieu.fr>]

A quick google search gave me the following bits of information.

Very similar bug reported on the dri-devel ML (01/2010):
http://www.mail-archive.com/dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg46220.html
Patch for the bug (02/2010):
http://www.mail-archive.com/dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg47752.html
Same (review) patch on LKML, for 2.6.32-stable and 2.6.33-stable (03/2010):
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2010-03/msg05455.html
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1003.1/02309.html
Similar bug reported by a Fedora user (05/2010):
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=595203

But I just checked with apt-get source and this patch is included in
linux-2.6_2.6.34-1~experimental, so it must be something else.

Note that linux-2.6-2.6.32 does include the patch, of course: it was
worth trying the latest one.
