  Sure.  What's frustrating/suspicious is that I'm not getting the crash
right now.  I tracked down the code section it was in (though it never
crashed on the same lines twice, AFAICT), and I was just doing a lot of
ellipse, arc, and line drawing to an offscreen Surface.  When I switched
to drawing directly on the screen with a clipping are, the bug went
away.  But I can re-enable the bug in a test version.
