Hi,

 Package: zapping
 Version: 0.10~cvs6-2
 Severity: critical
 Justification: breaks the whole system
 
 I ran zapping and it killed the X server and I had to log back in and lost 
 all my applications (which fortunately were few).Ran it again to see
 if it was repeatable.  It was. This can lead to data loss in running
 applications.

Zapping works fine for me. However I have a very different hardware -  a
Radeon graphic card and a Pixelview TV card.

 
 apt-get install linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 linux-source-2.6.26 
 linux-headers-2.6.26-1-686 linux-modules-2.6.26-1-686 linux-doc-2.6.26 yaird 
 linux-kbuild-2.6.26 linux-manual-2.6.26 linux-tree-2.6.26 
 
 # download NVIDIA driver using lynx

Could you please try to reproduce the bug with xorg's Nvidia driver
(xserver-xorg-video-nv)?


Regards,
Robert
