Hrm. A switch that can be taken down by a single NIC sending any amount of broadcast traffic it's capable of sending sounds like a broken switch to me. Put another way, if I found a switch in my network that could be taken out in any way at all by a single NIC, I would be replacing it immediately either by another of the same switch (assuming it's just a broken piece of equipment) or another make/model (assuming it's defective by design). b.
