When, for example, we try to allocate a surface wider than 16384 pixels, the calculation of the pitch overflows; this leads to a surface that has the w and h flags correctly set, but whose "pixels" buffer is too small. That may lead to heap corruption.

/* Include the SDL main definition header */
#include "SDL_main.h"

#ifdef main
#undef main
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	return(SDL_main(argc, argv));
}
#else
/* Nothing to do on this platform */;
#endif
