[pygame] Pygame, clock.ticks() and 42

[Richard Jones <richardjones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've just put up my team's final submission for PyWeek:

  http://www.mechanicalcat.net/tech/PyWeek/1/entrants/Uberteam

During final testing, we noticed something very odd: setting the Clock.ticks() 
value to 42 (or more) results in 100% CPU utilisation on my computer. 41 
barely loads the system (ie. about 5-10% CPU). 42 is evil. This is just in 
the title screen with no animation going on, nothing fancy. No music playing. 
Weird, huh?

PyGame 1.7.1, PyOpenGL 2.0.1.08, Python2.4.1, Ubuntu Linux, SDL 1.2.7
