FYI eric was right, i was using vbe/af and the problem went away when i
removed vbeaf.drv, however allegro should ideally not be affected by a
problematic driver. so it's worth to investigate it. i bet for_each_file()
makes assumptions on how the system state are at a given moment. if dos
interrupts are used in both vbe/af and for_each_file() for functionality of
the type findfirst/findnext, then we have a problem because these interrupts
remember the state from last call. just a theory...
