#include <allegro.h>

int main(void)
{
   allegro_init();
   install_keyboard();
   while ((readkey() & 0xFF) != 27)
      ;

   return 0;
}

Tested under Win95 OSR2, waiting during 33 minutes (!) for a key press: it
stopped as soon as I hit the ESC key.

Maybe is there kind of a conflict in your program ? Could you try to find
the minimal chunk of code that exhibits the described behaviour ?
