But it took several days to get it to crash. Have anyone given pointers to ripperda and the rest of the nvidia crew? Coudln't there be some "shielded" module api, ie, the modules couldn't wreck havock and you could have simpler debug sessions when doing module dev work... (or is there already such a system? if there is, i want to test it) Anyways, i'll wait for word before taking any action.
