Created an attachment (id=50801)
 --> (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=50801)
Important parts of my logs.

I am getting the attached Errors since I am using kwin 4.7.0 with OpenGL-ES.

I am not sure if the following is related: When I am changing window sizes
several times my memory gets filled up. The memory is not released by
restarting kwin or X. When I filled my memory by doing this, I do not have to
wait long for the attached Error, but I do not know what triggers it exactly.

Occasionally, I also have thousands of messages of the following form in my
logs:

buffer 0xffff8800bc392000 eviction.

This is the reason, why I did not upload full logs (all in all 40MB).
Nevertheless, I can upload more logs if you wish so.

As you can see in the logs, I have this problem since several kernel versions.

My graphics card: GeForce 8600 GT

Some version information (only applicable for the last logged crash):

sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.0.1
x11-base/xorg-x11-7.4-r1
x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.16_pre20110801
