Hm. Should we make the non-asm version default for 4.2.0? We probably
can't figure this out in time, so it might be a good idea, especially
since that one allegro.cc thread some time ago showed that the C version
is often faster anyway.

Ok. Just in case you want to compile again the asm version and play with
it:

Use Allegro's debug version and compile your program in debug mode, then
run it in gdb, something like:

gdb myprog
r

Then when it crashes, type:

info threads
thread 1
bt
thread 2
bt
thread 3
bt
q

And copy all the text from starting up gdb to quitting.
