You should compile everything with debugging on, and find exactly where it's
having issues. It's likely to be in IMG_Load_RW, either because of something to
do with the ops_ref, or some broken aspect of SDL_image. Perhaps rw_NEW() is
returning NULL for some reason, and then IMG_Load_RW isn't behaving. You might
want to consider testing ops_ref for NULL.

Other than that, without more detailed information regarding where it's
croaking, it's hard to say.
