[Nouveau] GeForce GTS 250M: Mplayer freezes machine when playing openGL

I am happy to report that the patches to support my video card under
Nouveau have appeared in the mainstream kernel (currently running
2.6.34-rc5). But I have noticed that, if I run mplayer with -vo gl
(output to an OpenGL window), the machine tends to crash after a
variable time - from a few seconds to a few minutes. I tried with
full-screen or partial, and even with the actual playback screen not
displaying. 

Using the XV driver (with mplayer -vo xv) never crashes. 

At crash, the screen remains frozen. The machine cannot be reached by
net anymore. No error message is saved in system logs. I even tried to
leave an xconsole window running beside the mplayer one, but no special
message is printed at crash time.

Is there a compilation flag or runtime option to enable debugging, so
that eventual nouveau-related error messages can be shown and/or
saved on disk? Is there something I can try?

These are the relevant messages at boot:

(I see this line:

does it imply anything?)

These messages are generated when starting X:

I updated drm, xf86-video-nouveau and the whole of mesa from git, and
recompiled everything. I experienced the same problem two weeks ago
with patched kernel 2.6.34-rc3.
