Yes, unfortunately, it's much simpler on Linux, which is why I've 
focused on getting it to work in Windows first.

Both you and Michael Rickert suggested this, so I tried it.  At first, 
when I tried it, it worked, and I thought I had it beat.  However, I was 
suspicious, so I added this code:

.loop
	call	_SDL_PumpEvents

	push	dword 0
	call	_SDL_GetKeyState
	add	esp, 4

	cmp	byte [ eax + SDLK_q ], 0
	je	.loop

I put this right after the call to SetVideoMode.  And guess what, it 
crashes again... I really don't get it.
