Fix for memory leak

Hello all,

This is my first post to this mailing list. The DOSBox developers have
identified a memory leak in the DirectDraw backend for SDL. As I happened
to be looking into a similar error in a part of DOSBox that I’m working on, I
was also asked to look at this memory leak. Attached is a .diff file for SDL
1.2.13 that we’ve been able to verify as a fix.

I hope this finds its way to the proper people like this.

Kind regards,
Steven Don (aka Kippesoep)

You could also create a bug report about the memory leak and attach the
patch to it. Then it will be stored in a database and not forgotten.

*** Thank you. I’ve done so.
