I guess that if there is a race condition on Linux, there is probably the 
same race condition on any multitasking OSes. So why not use the dormant 
synchronization API (i.e re-enable ALLEGRO_MULTITHREADED in the various 
configuration files and convert Sam's code to use this API)?

Are you sure that this synchronization won't open the same can of worms that 
the timer synchronization did?
