What about this then:

#ifdef ALLEGRO_LITTLE_ENDIAN
#define RAND()       rand()
#elif defined ALLEGRO_BIG_ENDIAN
#define RAND()       (rand()>>16)
#else
#error Unknown endianess!
#endif

Then replace rand() with RAND() all over test.c.
It gives good results here.

Heh, this is even weirder... When I tried it here, it displayed some
letters, but they weren't those :P
Can't remember which ones though (the 'n' for sure)
