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

[Tommy Hinks]

In "debug mode" I think most numeric variables are automatically
initialized to zero. In "release mode" uninitialized numeric variables
are just given a chunk of memory and their values will be whatever
that chunk of memory happens to be when interpreting that kind of
numeric variable.

So watch out for places were you might assume that something was set to zero!

Just building on what Gregory said...

Hope that helps
