René, sorry, I'm not really a C hacker so I'm not quite sure what you'd want.  
Sample code could be tricky.  The machine where I developed the code runs it 
without issue.  It only falls over when installed on my media PC running 
Slackware 13.0 32 bit, and a virtualbox machine running the same OS.  64 bit 
slack and 12.2 32 bit slack is fine.  For that reason I don't know what the 
problematic line of code is that causes the error.

sound - example did not complain, but I have not got sound on virtual machine
sound_array_demos - ditto

vgrade - This example requires Numeric and the pygame surfarray module

No failures like the one I am seeing.  Happy to re-run the tests that I did 
not manage to do in the quick run through above.

Here we go.  Had to modify script slightly to stop it going fullscreen and 
locking me out, but that makes no difference to the crash I beleive.  Not sure 
if this helps.
