Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault #13

Crashed with this error:

Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Reproducible about 90% of the time, by running the game, alt-tabbing out. Issue appears after about 2 seconds. If the issue does not occur, try again. This does happen while paused (though pausing doesn't currently stop any screen drawing from occuring).

Some quick googling of the issue says it may be related to graphics/drivers, which may be my dual screening on my work laptop. Will investigate as to whether this happens at home, will also try stopping drawing while paused, and see if this stops the issue.

Even with pausing which stops the pygame.screen.flip and pygame.draw commands, the bug can be seen, with lots of alt-tabbing and such. Best guess: Work Computer, Dual Screen, and/or pygame.

Seems that this possibly an issue with pygame on Windows XP: http://www.mail-archive.com/pygame-users@seul.org/msg15638.html . It's not enough of an issue to worry about dealing with though, as it's only related to switching windows. I'll assume the player shall not do this.
