Stupid Segfaults (mods, Delete The Other One)

(hey mods, I edited the other one to indicate it was in the wrong forum, delete IT not this one please )

Does anyone want to tell me why

ret = SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_SWSURFACE,512,288,32,0xff0000,0x00ff00,0x0000ff,0x0);

is segfaulting? There is no reason for it at all that I can see. Especially when calling

tmp = SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_SWSURFACE,32,18,32,0xff0000,0x00ff00,0x0000ff,0x0);

a few lines above provides no trouble whatsoever.

That first line segfaults both on my PC and my GP2X, and I'm getting very frustrated

May be something in between those 2 lines corrupts the heap.

Just a guess.


EDIT: Can you try it with gdb (or valgrind if you're using x86 Linux)

gdb on the PC gives me nothing useful, but on the gp2x it really does interesting things... an endless loop of abort() (abort.c). No idea what it means, I don't know how a stack can get so corrupted that it does that... and also I'm not doing anything weird between those two lines to corrupt the stack or the heap. Meh.
