Hi,

I'm using DirectFB 1.0.0-rc2 together with linux-fusion-3.2 to run 
more than one on on single SDL system screen. I'm sometimes(!) 
getting an assert in dfb_gfxcard_blit() when the second app launched 
(while the first one is still running) shows its window:

(*) DirectFB/Core: Multi Application Core. (2006-11-25 23:51) [ 
DEBUG ]
(*) Direct/Memcpy: Using libc memcpy()
(*) Direct/Thread: Running 'Fusion Dispatch' (MESSAGING, 15685)...
(*) DirectFB/Graphics: Generic Software Rasterizer 0.6 (directfb.org)
(*) Direct/Interface: Loaded 'DGIFF' implementation 
of 'IDirectFBFont'.
(!) [Main Thread       4.215] (15684) *** Assertion [rect->x + 
rect->w - 1 <
state->source->width] failed *** [gfxcard.c:1213 in 
dfb_gfxcard_blit()]
(!) [15684:    4.215] --> Caught signal 5 (sent by pid 15684, uid 
1000) <--
(!) Direct/Thread: Killing 'Fusion Dispatch' (15685)!
Killed

The worst part is that it's not reproducible, I sometimes get the 
assert, sometimes not. I sometimes get it with debugging code 
compiled in. I don't get the assert in release build of DFB. I don't 
get it when I run the 2nd app under Valgrind (which slows it down a 
lot). I don't get it in single instance build when running that app, 
nor if I run the asserting app as the 1st one when no other app is 
occupying the display. When I don't get the assert, everything seems 
to render correctly. It looks like some timing issue to me, possibly 
related to threads synchronization.

The assert appears because GetSurface() for the DFB window with 
dimensions 110x50 returns a surface with 128x64 dimensions (which is 
my screen's size). I don't understand how could that happen, though.

I have no idea how to debug this, would you have any ideas where to 
look and how to debug this? I'm new to DFB and don't know its 
internals at all, so I'm at lost as to what to look for...

Thanks in advance,
Vaclav
