That means it's a bug in the G4 optimized blitter in the version of SDL  
that is included with the binary distribution of pygame.

1) Make sure you have the latest pygame from  
http://pythonmac.org/packages/.  It has been updated once since the  
initial release of 1.7.0, specifically to fix a blitter bug with color  
keys  
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythonmac-sig/2005-March/ 
013436.html>, but there are several different key blits and this may be  
a different bug.
2) If it's still broken, **post example code that reproduces this  
issue**.  I simply do not have the time to fix bugs that I can not  
quickly and easily reproduce.
