Description Nomad 2009-02-08 10:34:43 UTC 
The 2nd init is good.
The problem is in "SDL_dibevents.c"
in DIB_CreateWindow()

in SVN:
{
    char *windowid = SDL_getenv("SDL_WINDOWID");

    SDL_RegisterApp(NULL, 0, 0);

    ... using of data to which windowid is points

problem: 
    SDL_RegisterApp() may call SDL_getenv() and windowid will point to some wrong string

solve:
    char *windowid;

    SDL_RegisterApp(NULL, 0, 0);

    windowid = SDL_getenv("SDL_WINDOWID");
Comment 1 Ryan C. Gordon 2009-09-13 16:33:02 UTC 
Tagging this bug with "target-1.2.14" so we can try to resolve it for SDL 1.2.14.

Please note that we may choose to resolve it as WONTFIX. This tag is largely so we have a comprehensive wishlist of bugs to examine for 1.2.14 (and so we can close bugs that we'll never fix, rather than have them live forever in Bugzilla).

--ryan.
