I think there is potentially a slightly different cause of the above problem. During the introduction of the Altivec code, the blit_table struct field 'alpha' got changed from a straightforward enum to a bitmask, which makes perfect sense by itself. However, now the table driven blitter selection code in SDL_CalculateBlitN() can choose the wrong blitters when searching for a NO_ALPHA blitter because of the following code: int a_need = 0; ... (a_need & table[which].alpha) == a_need && When searching through the normal_blit_2[] table, a SET_ALPHA blitter (like Blit_RGB565_ARGB8888) can now be selected instead of a NO_ALPHA one, causing alpha channel bits to appear in a non-alpha destination surface. I suppose this could theoretically be an indirect cause of the segfault mentioned above. I *think* this can be fixed by changing to int a_need = NO_ALPHA;

\fBvoid \fBSDL_UpdateRect\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Surface *screen, Sint32 x, Sint32 y, Sint32 w, Sint32 h\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Makes sure the given area is updated on the given screen\&. The rectangle must be confined within the screen boundaries (no clipping is done)\&.
.PP
If \&'\fBx\fR\&', \&'\fBy\fR\&', \&'\fBw\fR\&' and \&'\fBh\fR\&' are all 0, \fBSDL_UpdateRect\fP will update the entire screen\&.
.PP
This function should not be called while \&'\fBscreen\fR\&' is \fIlocked\fR\&.
