do you have a full version of the script that crashes still? i'd like to 
put on my digging equipment and go root out the problem. no docstrings 
is no problem, i just need to find a copy of the bug in captivity :]
i was looking through the code in your second post and couldn't directly 
see anything that should crash like this. it looks like you were just 
mismatching your "layers" and "offsets".

there's already a temporary pygame build for windows python-2.2 beta. 
it's a zip file though, not an exe, so a little extra hand installing is 
needed (just unzip to your C:\PYTHON22 directory)
http://www.pygame.org/ftp/contrib/pygame-1.2.1-win32-py2.2.zip

i imagine you'll want to subclass from pygame.SurfaceType (since 
pygame.Surface is just a function). i'm not exactly sure if it will 
work? (i might need to enable some features for my pygame types?)
