Like I said, I don't know the root cause. It seems bogus to me as
well. All I know is that my patch "fixes" the glitch, and there's not
much use waiting around for someone who knows Windows and Allegro to
confirm or deny. ;) I don't know the internals of Allegro or DX, so I
wouldn't even know where to look if I wanted...
The approach of ignoring when CTRL-ALT-0x00 is found is harmless. The
worse case of something going wrong is that CTRL-ALT-END stops
working, but at least CTRL-ALT-DEL still would work without crashing
the application.
