I don't use SDL_image so I can't help you there, but you should use
SDL_FreeSurface on any surface that you allocate, except the main
surface that you get back from SDL_SetVideoMode. You should free any
surfaces that you create using SDL_LoadBMP, SDL_CreateRGBSurface,
SDL_DisplayFormat, etc. (Basically any function that gives you back
a new SDL_Surface object, except SDL_SetVideoMode. That surface is
automatically freed by SDL_Quoit.)
