Well, like Vincent said, it returns a pointer to the stack, which is going
to break horribly. Did you test it at all?
Also, the code isn't unicode save. I suggest you have a look at the Allegro
Unicode routines and/or Allegro source code to figure out how to do this
correctly (this is pretty tricky; took me a while and I'm not 100% certain
my code is save either).
