[SDL] blocks lost in SDL_CreateRGBASurface

[Edward Cullen]

Hello,

As stated in the Valgrind manual, Valgrind nor many of the system
libraries commonly used, are not perfect.

Generally, you have to analyse the results of VG report and determine
whether the error is in your code or in a library.

The error *looks* like it's in "libag_gui" if this is the code you're
debugging, that's great, you've find a bug. If not, you need to do 2
things; report the bug to the library provider and add a filter to the
Valgrind configuration to remove it so you can focus on "your" errors.

Happy 'Griding!

(P.S. I hope this qualifies as a "nice" RTFM ;)
