[SDL] Application doesn't start

[Paulo Pinto]

Have you tried to run the application under the debugger?

GDB or windbg would suffice, although I am not sure if windbg plays nice
with mingw generated executables.

You could then have a look at the stack trace to see where the call to
RtlpWaitForCriticalSection () is coming from.
