System Crash caused by Nvidia Driver
Hi.
I recently bought Multiwinia ( http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/role_strategy/multiwinia.html), a featured download for OSX.
The game starts fine, but the moment I click on anything, the application freezes. There is no possibility to quit. The moment I press ALT-CMD-ESC, the whole system freezes. I wrote the error syslog to Ambrosia Software, but they insist it is a firmware or OSX error.

This is the error message from syslog (which repeats over an over again):
