[SDL] Segmentation Fault... please help

[thebigcheese]

I tried to post this to gmane.comp.lib.sdl... so if this message looks familiar, I'm sorry.

The problem that is driving me crazy is I get a Segmentation Fault message in stderr.txt everytime I try to run my .exe after it has compiled and linked just fine.  Both Debug and Release versions do this (I'm using VC++ 6.0).  The thing that I can't figure out is that the program works perfectly if I run it within the studio... hitting F5, Ctrl+F5, etc.  Not too sure why it would work in the studio but not be able to run when I double click the little bugger.  I copied the sdl.dll and my images in the same directory thinking that was it, but alas... still having issues.

Any one run across this before?  I have a feeling it's something really simple and stupid but for the life of me I can't figure it out.
