I've been having this problem for a while now; Debian Unstable 64-bit, Nvidia GTX560 for me.

I guess filedropper decided to remove the file. So here's another crash(they're quite frequent), this time on dropbox.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5spxp4rgh6xlc0g/crash_20130220201235_1.dmp

My is kernel 3.5.7-1, if that's helpful. Also, while running tf2, the crashes are preceded by few second periods of looping/skipping sound(I guess CPU usage spikes? Some kind of local lag), seemingly at random, with anywhere from 10 seconds to a few minutes in between them. After a few such lag/skipping spikes, or sometimes on the first one, the spike will end in a crash.
