I tested sdl2 build on Windows 10 running on VMware, and came across the
same crash.
Considering that there is no problem on my windows 11 laptop, this might be 
due to the specific problem on VMware.

Therefore, if current sdl2 build has no problem on 'physical' windows 10,
it might be O.K. also on windows 7 and other version of relatively modern
windows systems.

So, I expect positive feedbacks from beta testors crossing my fingers.
