nv problems on FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE for AMD64

[Chris Radlinski]

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that adding a loop count condition to
the while didn't really fix anything.  Once it bails from the while
loop, the screen redraw stops working and then it just goes into another
infinite loop somewhere else.

I'd appreciate any suggestions for a fix.

Thanks,
Chris
