[pygame] [bug] color module on Pygame 1.8.1

[Lenard Lindstrom <len-l@xxxxxxxxx>]

I appreciate the color extension module is still under construction for 
1.8.1 but this bug is unusual and could easily be missed. This is for 
Python 2.5.2 on Windows. When running the shadow effects array example 
in the Pygame cookbook, http://www.pygame.org/wiki/ShadowEffects, I get 
this exception:

>python pstest.py numpy
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "pstest.py", line 73, in <module>
   main()
 File "pstest.py", line 50, in main
   labelD = add_shadow(textD, (20, 10), shadow_scale=0.8, 
ambience=ambience)
OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int

There is no way a Python function call should raise an OverflowError 
like that. Replacing the preceding line:

   textD.set_colorkey(Color('white'))

with:

   textD.set_colorkey((255, 255, 255, 255))

prevents the exception. So either the new Color type isn't working 
properly with colorkeys or memory is being overwritten somewhere.
