i suspect the problem is here:
/allegro4.1.15/src/win/wkeybd.c    line 151:


      /* dirty hack to let Allegro for Windows use the DOS/Linux way of 
handling CapsLock */
      if (((scancode == DIK_CAPITAL) || (scancode == DIK_LSHIFT) || 
(scancode == DIK_RSHIFT))
          && pressed
          && (_key_shifts & KB_CAPSLOCK_FLAG)) {
         keybd_event(VK_CAPITAL, 0, 0, 0);
         keybd_event(VK_CAPITAL, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
      }


the same code appears in 4.1.14  and  4.1.13 and 4.1.12   and the 4.0.3
has the problem existed for that long ?
(presuming the above code is the 'problem')
The comment  tends to indicate this is a 'feature'  not a bug.  (again 
presuming this code is the cause).
