This problem is present much longer than 4 - 5 months and it is bugging
me now for a while more frequently since FreeBSD uses CLANG, but it
isn't only related to CLANG since I have had those problems even before
with the legacy gcc (4.2).

The crash occurs only when loading the nvidia.ko at a very early stage,
as it is done with the loader.conf. i do not know exactly at which stage
is crashed in my case, but it is always a gambling.

You can easily circumvent this by loading the nvidia.ko kernel module at
a very late stage via /etc/rc.conf.local with the entry:

kld_list="nvidia"

In my case, it is the only way to have the nvidia module loaded save and
sound and it works for me since a couple of time for now.
