I had such strange also...
I`ve solved it by not using delete :) but only in specific cases
Why?
If you`ve loaded a surface from your theme, it`s been cached by
FileArchive. When you do SDL_FreeSurface, the pointer is still in the
cache, but destroyed and *not* NULL`ed.
When you upload/go through Application/FileArchive functions ParaGUI
goes through the FileArchive cache and blows...

So, if you uploaded a resource from a theme file, dont delete it! You
can only *unload* it (check FileArchive functions).


Kind regards,
       taurus
