[AD] odd sized windows don't work properly?

I noticed this a while ago, but didn't really care about it. Someone
recently brought it up to me, so I thought I'd get the proper answer...

Should allegro support any resolution in a windowed mode?

Example:

set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED, 500,500, 0,0);

Should that work? On my PC, I only can work with what seems to be multiples
of 8. I didn't do a lot of testing, but there is definately an issue here.

On some odd sizes, it will not even create a window. On others, it creates
the window, but weird things happen.

I've got a Radeon VE card with latest drivers on WinXP for whatever that's
worth...

So, is this a bug with Allegro, DirectX, my video card? Or perhaps everyone
already knows about it?

(Like I said, I'm just bringing this up, I've not done any debugging as of
yet. )
