Screenshot with alpha 128.

SDL_SetAlpha works fine with alpha 127 or 129.
It produces strange colors with alpha 128.
The problem started after upgrading to Ubuntu Jaunty (libsdl1.2debian
1.2.13-4ubuntu3).

The produced colors are not stable. It seems like if they are taken from an
uninitialized variable or something like that.
See the attached a screenshot with alpha 128 and alpha 129.

I noticed that another developer also met it:

What info would be helpful to provide?
Thanks.

I believe this has been fixed with the current SDL snapshot:
http://www.libsdl.org/tmp/SDL-1.2.zip

Can you try it out?

Thanks!

The tried SDL-1.2.14 does not the problem.
Thanks.
