[pygame] pygame on Mac OS X bug: "Python has unexpectedly quit"

[Andrew Straw <andrew.straw@adelaide.edu.au>]

Hi,

When I run any pygame script on my Mac OS X machine, I get a "The 
application Python has unexpectedly quit." error dialog box when the 
program quits (expectedly).  This is a fairly minimal program that gets 
the error:

import pygame
pygame.display.init()
pygame.display.set_mode((640,480),0,0)
pygame.quit()

(The pygame.display.init() and pygame.quit() calls don't affect whether 
I get the error or not.)

Does anyone (everyone?) else using pygame on Mac OS X get this?  Any 
suggestions as to what's going wrong? I could speculate that the calls 
made from base.c to SDLmain.m aren't properly shutting down the Cocoa 
application, but since I know absolutely nothing about Objective C and 
other Mac OS X stuff, I won't! :)

Cryptic message from Console.log:
/Applications/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/python: objc: FREED(id): message 
release sent to freed object=0x249aef0

Versions:
Mac OS X 10.1.4
Python 2.2.1 with Tkinter
aqua Tcl8.4a4
SDL from today's CVS
pygame from today's CVS

Thanks,
Andrew
