Re: [pygame] intermittant fails of unit test pixelarray_test.PixelArrayTest with Python 2.4



It sounds like a win98 not setting memory to zero by default with the
undefined pallete?  Whereas I think freebsd zeros memory by default?

Or maybe it's something to do with the video driver on win98 and the
set pallete call?
