Patch to fix the crashing bug.

On all of my OSX machines running 10.9 (I posted OS as Mac OS X (All) due to there not being a 10.9 selection), I get a crash on any input using SDL 1.2. I've had this issue in both HG 1.2 and final release 1.2 on the website.

Today I got around to trying to fix it; commenting out the two uses of 'field_edit' in src/video/quartz/SQL_QuartzEvents.m fixes the crash and doesn't cause any side effects as far as I can tell.

I've attached the patch, feel free to use it as deemed appropriate.

I didn't do any deep investigation of whether this is the right fix, but not crashing is better than always crashing. Thanks!
