It's impossible to know this.  If anyone doesn't know how to use debug
mode, or a debugger, they should learn.

I don't like Allegro's implementation of ASSERT.  In DOS (and in
fullscreen modes generally) we needed to cleanly shut down the program
when an assertion was triggered, but an assert() from assert.h gives
more information than ASSERT() and is better with a debugger.
