flood fills?

[cozman]

Can anyone tell me what the problems are with this Algorithm? (a lot of graphics primitives work lately)

	
	
    if(x < 0 || x > surface->w || y < 0 || y > surface->h)
        return;
    if(GetPixel(surface,x,y) == oldColor)
    {
        DrawPixel(surface,x,y,newColor);
        DoFill(surface,x+1,y,newColor,oldColor);
        DoFill(surface,x-1,y,newColor,oldColor);
        DoFill(surface,x,y+1,newColor,oldColor);
        DoFill(surface,x,y-1,newColor,oldColor);
    } 

or feel free to suggest new algorithims or resources on flood fills
