Strange indeed.  I've never experienced anything like this.  I'll add
this to my never-ending todo list (along with Andrzej's bug reports :-)
and try to fix it as soon as I have some time.

Except for the audio mixer, the game runs in one single thread.
Reentrancy should not be an issue here.  Maybe you could add the
following printf() in Game::run and tell me at what values of dtime the
stones stop moving?

        dtime=(SDL_GetTicks()-last_tick_time)/1000.0;
>>      printf("%g\n", dtime);

Cheers,
Daniel
