RE: Bizarre server crash

Alexander,

Wow, great catch!  That would definitely cause problems since the
IDirectDrawSurface macros just call the appropriate function through the
surface pointer.  I NULL surface pointer would certainly result in a crash.

I have applied this patch to my local tree; it will be in the next test
release.

Harold

seems to depend on the colordepth change.

Hope this patch fixes it (can't test. The computer where i saw the crash
is at work.)
