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;
