GROOVIE: 11th Hour - SDL_BlitSurface failed: Surfaces must not be locked during blit!

[laenion]

When trying to start the German retail version of "The 11th Hour" with current git master, an error dialog with the following message appears before anything can be seen:

SDL_BlitSurface failed: Surfaces must not be locked during blit!

After that ScummVM quits. The last lines of the debug console output are as follows:

are you able to provide the full log file?

if you're on windows then it's at %APPDATA%\ScummVM\

mac ~/Library/Preferences/ScummVM Preferences

linux ~/.config/scummvm/

it looks like you manually adjusted your debuglevel and maybe it's failing to write the debug images

Indeed, when starting ScummVM without -d 11, then the game is starting es expected!

I've still added the log file as requested.

I've fixed it so that when it fails to output the debug images then it gives a warning instead of an error
