If a non-console Windows SDL program has a non-quoted 0th argument followed
optionally by more non-quoted arguments and then by an empty quoted argument,
it will crash (attempts to dereference a NULL pointer).
In other words, something like this:
test.exe [non-quoted args] "" [...]
The fix is a one-liner in ParseCommandLine() of
src/main/win32/SDL_win32_main.c.
You can test this with any non-console SDL program on windows like this:
1) Open a console (cmd.exe)
2) Launch the program in one of the following ways:
program ""
program arg1 ""
program arg1 "" arg3
These will not cause a crash:
"program" [...]
program "arg1" ""
When a Windows program is launched from Explorer, its 0th argument seems to
always be quoted, so it won't be a problem in that case.
I've tested this on Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7.

Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) Version 1.2 --- http://www.libsdl.org/ This is the Simple DirectMedia Layer, a general API that provides low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D framebuffer across multiple platforms. The current version supports Linux, Windows, Windows CE, BeOS, MacOS, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX. The code contains support for AIX, OSF/Tru64, RISC OS, and SymbianOS, but these are not officially supported. SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to several other languages, including Ada, C#, Eiffel, Erlang, Euphoria, Guile, Haskell, Java, Lisp, Lua, ML, Objective C, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Pike, Pliant, Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk. This library is distributed under GNU LGPL version 2, which can be found in the file "COPYING". This license allows you to use SDL freely in commercial programs as long as you link with the dynamic library. The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory. The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date. More documentation is available in HTML format in "docs/index.html", and a documentation wiki is available online at: http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi The test programs in the "test" subdirectory are in the public domain. Frequently asked questions are answered online: http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php If you need help with the library, or just want to discuss SDL related issues, you can join the developers mailing list: http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php Enjoy!
