Unless I'm missing something, the address of "event" will be invalid 
(i.e. will not point to an SDL_Event) at the point of 
sdl_timer_callback's  return (since event is on the stack).  This would 
be a big problem unless SDL_PushEvent causes a context switch to the 
waiting thread (meaning that "event" is consumed before it is no longer 
on the stack).

Even in that case, it would appear to be MP-unsafe.  Is this correct?
