Gentoo sdl bug?

I don’t run Gentoo myself but I was wondering if anybody out there has
had any problems with SDL on Gentoo. I have some simple crossfade code
that runs great on Win32 and all Linux distributions, except, I’ve had
two reports from Gentoo users that it locks up there. Both their
backtraces show:

#0 0x0823fb20 in ?? ()
#1 0x40071669 in SDL_UpperBlit () from /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0
#2 0x08051b07 in blit_surface ()

where blit_surface() is a wrapper for SDL_BlitSurface(). It essentially
calls SDL_BlitSurface() after some math. Anybody know what might be
wrong? Does Gentoo modify SDL at all?–

libsdl-1.2.5.ebuild is using unmodified SDL. KEYWORDS="~x86 alpha ~ppc"
so you’re probably not getting that currently. The current stable SDL for
x86 seems to be a CVS snapshot, which may have been modified.

(insert subliminal message for Sam to make sdl-cvs list so people like
Knghtbrd can follow the SDL commits as they happen… Sam has the scripts
necessary to do it, but Joseph can resend these if necessary.)On Sun, Jan 05, 2003 at 05:40:14PM -0800, Chris Thielen wrote:

I can test it if you like. Most likely it is because some strange reason
the Gentoo stable SDL is 1.2.4. instead of 1.2.5. So I can
test it with the 1.2.5 SDL. Just tell me where to grab the software.On Monday 06 January 2003 03:40, Chris Thielen wrote:
