Running it "as is" should give you:

07:48 balrog(python)> python test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 5, in ?
    surface=pygame.image.load(gfx+"butt-new-game-moff.png").convert()
pygame.error: No video mode has been set

Which means that a video mode must be set first. I altered the script a
bit and added the lines:

pygame.init ()
pygame.display.set_mode ( [ 640, 480 ], 0, 24 )

and removed the other init() line. This works, and should IMHO not give a
seg fault. It should flash up a black window and then exit normally.
Weird. I don't have access to any any Windows box, so I can't test it, I'm
(un)fortunately surrounded by Linux boxes at home and work...
