Well... It was a system freeze that only lasted seconds including crash of the
game. Rarely the system did not recover and I make use of a hardware reset.

Yes, I fear you were right. The crash occured with the
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.09 driver. I upgraded and now I am using the
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14 driver and the problem disappeared.
