The bugs were introduced into 4.x with the vendor update that happened
on April 7.  So far the only cards that we have tested against have been
6xxx series cards.  The bugs deal with resource shortage handling, so
it's likely that the slower 6xxx cards are more likely than the newer
cards to experience the problems.  However, on a fast machine under
heavy I/O load, I would expect it to happen on any card.
