 SDL_GetError returns a pointer to a static buffer, causing this
 to crash. The windows free function somehow ignores this, but g_free ()
 doesn't. We can't fix this, so TAO needs to be changed instead by
 adding a wrapper around SDL_GetError ().

+I dont think someone is gonna fix the "bug" in SDL, to comply with a
+msdn standard.... and break backwards compatibility with lots of
+programms who want the function to function like it does.... or is it
+really a bug?
+isnt there a way to work around this ? purely on the mono side.
+if not, Tao.Sdl may be dead.
+how can someone use it, if u cant query the error message?
+
+i dont know much about pinvoke... if u can give me a hint
