Thanks!  I misunderstood that line, since it says "_If_ there is a clip 
rectangle set on the destination (set via SDL_SetClipRect)" and, of course, 
I never called that function so I expected there to be no clip rectangle...

But, in retrospect, it probably has one, by default--the very screen itself. 
  It, perhaps, makes it possible to draw rectangles partially off screen, 
too.  I've noticed that SDL_BlitSurface doesn't allow blits that are 
partially off screen, so perhaps that's an indication of this feature...

Thanks a lot for the clarification!
