Your code may help.  You've shown us only three lines of a sample switch 
statement.  Your problem could possibly be as simple as a missing break 
statement on a case clause causing the execution to pass through into 
another case clause unintentionally.

Also, what platform is this?  Win32?  Linux?  Other?

Further, I don't know all the ins and out of this issue, but there are 
certain SDL things you simply cannot do in another thread.  Certain SDL 
functions must be called in and only in the main thread.  I'm not sure if 
there's a list, but using *some* SDL functions in different threads can 
cause issues as SDL is not 100% thread safe.
