Description Mason Wheeler 2009-06-10 06:29:45 UTC 
See http://lists.libsdl.org/pipermail/sdl-libsdl.org/2009-April/069705.html for the patch and the rationale for it.
Comment 1 Mason Wheeler 2009-06-29 21:05:00 UTC 
After further testing, I've found that the patch needs to be revised a little.  The "initialized & CONSTANT_VALUE" checks need to be removed from IMG_Init, as they make it impossible to nest initialization calls from different subsystems of the calling program.

Also, the line "initialized = result;" ought to read "initialized |= result;", again to allow for multiple calls to IMG_Init to work correctly.

This is in for the next release, thanks!
