Re: [pygame] Another blitting surface to itself crash

[Lenard Lindstrom <len-l@xxxxxxxxx>]

The aggressive test_blit_to_self.py runs without problems for the 
replacement SDL.dll. Remember I was getting a corrupted Python string 
rather than a Pygame parachute. I wonder if it is the hermes blit 
library or some piece of inlined MMX code. These would not be included 
in a VC build. I will build SDL with assembly code turned off and see 
what happens.
