I had problems on my workstation (dual-xeon linux 2.4.9 ancient SMP
kernel) running allegro programs. I'm not sure anymore, but I believe
the problem is thread-safety and was solved if I build the library
with pthreads disabled. Can you verify if that works for you too?
That doesn't really solve the problem of course, but it may give a
hint as to what is going wrong exactly.
