You mean exiting the program without explicitly calling al_destroy_display()?

In case someone is wondering: OS X does not seem to redraw when an allegro fullscreen application closes without destroying the display.  I don't know if there would be a way to fix this in allegro itself, but at least the documentation should mention that behavior.

I can't reproduce the problem here (late 2008 MacBook, OS X 10.6.5).
