[SDL] SDL_CreateSurfaceFrom crashes (was: Alpha transparency on created surface?)

[Brian]

SDL returns surfaces as pointers for a various reasons, it is best to
store surfaces in your own programs as pointers too.

SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceFrom expects "tpixel->pixels" to contain at least
"w" x "h" pixels, is this the case? Are "w" and "h" both 1?
