That's what I suspected too, but didn't have a chance until just now
to sit down and confirm it.  The little pure-c test program at the end
of this message wedges at the same point..  any ideas?  I guess it's
probably time to bump this up to Sam or something.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <SDL/SDL.h>

sdl_open(int w, int h, int bpp, Uint32 flags)
{
  /* Initialize the SDL library */
  if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) < 0 ) {
    fprintf(stderr,
	    "Couldn't initialize SDL: %s\n", SDL_GetError());
    return(NULL);
  }
  SDL_SetVideoMode(w, h, bpp, flags);
}


main()
{
  sdl_open(1024, 768, 32, 0);
  SDL_Quit();
  printf("ok\n");
}
