this program crash after some time

Hello,

I use a SDL_WM_SetCaption() function in timer, the program crashes after a while with the message:
XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"...

The timers run in a separate thread, so it's not safe to call any video functions from them.  Instead you can post an event using SDL_PushEvent() and have your main thread do the change.

OK, thanks !
