Hi Andy,
Thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately I'm already putting my tims (I
remember having memory trashing problems similar to those you described)
under the code, and not using any malloc... so I'll still watch my pixels
vanish for the moment :)

> I've heard rumours that malloc/free are a bit buggy for psx

I think I remember noticing that free(NULL) fails (not a big deal though).
Anyway, when I'm sure I have a fixed amount of memory, I prefer not to use
malloc, and manage memory 'by hand'.

cheers,
pal
