Starting monsterz with pygame-1.8.1 results in a crash, as noted in the following upstream reports: http://sam.zoy.org/monsterz/msg00024.html http://sam.zoy.org/monsterz/msg00092.html According to http://sam.zoy.org/monsterz/msg00093.html, Fedora seems to host a patch to solve this issue at http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/monsterz/monsterz-0.7.1-blit-crash.patch?revision=1.1&view=markup I suggest this patch should be applied by the gentoo ebuilds as well. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start monsterz from the console. Actual Results: $ monsterz Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/games/bin/monsterz", line 1998, in <module> main() File "/usr/games/bin/monsterz", line 1993, in main monsterz.go() File "/usr/games/bin/monsterz", line 1271, in go iterator() File "/usr/games/bin/monsterz", line 1381, in iterate_menu self.copyright_draw() File "/usr/games/bin/monsterz", line 1300, in copyright_draw system.blit(scroll, (13, 437)) File "/usr/games/bin/monsterz", line 403, in blit self.background.blit(surf, coords) pygame.error: Surfaces must not be locked during blit Expected Results: Monsterz should start as it did previously.

Hmm, shouldn't the severity stay rather high, while the priority is lowered? The application is totally unusable (high severity), while the world won't come to an end without a fix (low priority).
Works fine with dev-python/pygame-1.7.1 so downgrading pygame is the work around until it's fixed.
Fixed, thanks.
