Hi,
this is a regression since the 270.xx driver release, applications like assassins creed in wine,
http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=56900 in wine or a windows 7 guest in vmware crashes with the error in the topic.
Code:
Wine-gdb> bt
#0 0x7af687a8 in ?? () from /usr/lib32/libnvidia-glcore.so.280.04
#1 0x00000000 in ?? ()
