[cairo] Problem with cairo in windows

[David Larsson]

Cool, I didn't know about pastebin.
Here it is:
http://pastebin.com/mfeb0e31
It's based on an example called stars.c which renders some stars, the
lines breaking the rendering is 50 and 51.

My speculation, which might be completely wrong, is that there is some
kind of hardware acceleration going on when rendering stuff in
windows. This stuff is somehow dependent on some kind of device handle
or so, that is affected by pixel toaster when it creates windows and
initializes direct x devices making it stop rendering properly.
