Run a SDL program with "" as one of the command-line arguments: crash on
startup.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The problem is that on Windows when you make a shortcut, and want it to accept
drag-and-dropped files, the good way to make it work work with files that have
spaces in their names or paths is make this argument "%1" (with the surrounding
quotes). But then when you run it without dropping a file into it, it's
resolved as "", and triggers this bug.
