After the upgrade to linux-3.7.3-1, my system began freezing frequently
after certain actions (opening a new browser window, switching windows,
etc.)
The system became totally unresponsive (no Magic SysRq, no response from
network).
Investigating a little further, I found I could reliably reproduce the
freeze by running '$ glxinfo' (occasionally had to repeat it a few times).
Downgrading to linux-3.6.11-1 resolved the problem.
I'm not reporting this as a bug yet, since linux-3.7.3-1 is marked as
out-of-date (linux-3.7.4-1 is in [testing]), this is just a heads-up for
other people experiencing the same issue.

Alain
