Re: [AD] Buffer security patch

As Vincent pointed out to me in a private mail, it would be a good idea to
have all data buffers in allegro dynamically allocated instead of statically
allocated. moving buffers from stack to heap better protects against buffer
overflows beeing used in cracker attacks or just accidentally throwing the
instruction pointer of course due to overwritten function return adresses.
