I think Patrick is right about this. Is there any reason we can't just
put the fix into SDL? It'll fix every game that uses SDL, even if
they're not in Ubuntu. Considering that commercial games often use SDL,
this would be ideal, I think. Unless there's something I'm missing here.

For an example, that commercial game I mentioned, Professor Fizzwizzle:

$ ldd ./Professor | grep SDL
        libSDL-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 (0x77f0f000)

This would also likely be easiest to get the fix commited upstream.
