[SDL] SDL_Init issue

[chris.2.dobbs at bt.com]

I had forgoton about that tool, tried it ages ago  - thanks for the reminder as this seems to have located my problem:
%valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes

Exellent tool, it even manages to trap thread specific signals.
Thanks,
-Chris

Valgrind has been my primary debugging tool for a few years now. It 
can save countless debugging hours, and often points you right 
at "sleeping" bugs you wouldn't even find with a normal debugger.

Highly recommended!
