René, sorry, I'm not really a C hacker so I'm not quite sure what you'd want. Sample code could be tricky. The machine where I developed the code runs it without issue. It only falls over when installed on my media PC running Slackware 13.0 32 bit, and a virtualbox machine running the same OS. 64 bit slack and 12.2 32 bit slack is fine. For that reason I don't know what the problematic line of code is that causes the error. > > Do example programs work? > eg. > python -m pygame.examples.chimp > chimp OK aliens OK arraydemo OK blend_fill OK blit_blends OK camera - no camera! chimp OK cursors - bit confused by that one, but no crash eventlist OK fastevents OK fonty ABORTED glcube OK headless_no_window - not sure, think it wants and image liquid OK mask - no images available to test midi - don't think I have midi running on test virtual machine moveit OK movieplayer - no movies on virtual machine oldalien OK overlay - don't understand demo pixelarray OK scaletest - no images to scale scrap_clipboard - don't understand example scroll OK sound - example did not complain, but I have not got sound on virtual machine sound_array_demos - ditto stars OK testsprite OK vgrade - This example requires Numeric and the pygame surfarray module No failures like the one I am seeing. Happy to re-run the tests that I did not manage to do in the quick run through above. > Have you run it with gdb?

Had to modify script slightly to stop it going fullscreen and locking me out, but that makes no difference to the crash I beleive. Not sure if this helps.
