[SDL] Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)

[matt]

i think you need to keep running it in gdb till it seg faults again.
or
turn on core dumps and when it does do it again, backtrace it.

also, i assume you are using gcc ? use -Wall, turn on all warnings. your
program should compile with out warnings. if you get warnings, that
might be a hint of where the problem could be.
