Re: [AD] Allegro in a multithreaded way

[Jon Rafkind <workmin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your suggestion, AJ, but that doesnt seem to be the problem. 
Actually I feel a bit stupid. The code was one of those random memory 
errors.. I finally traced it to this line:

if ( which_letter > caps.size() )
   which_letter = 0;

when it should have been

if ( which_letter >= caps.size() )
   which_letter = 0;

Too bad I didnt catch this in Linux.. oh wel.
