Hi,
I've come accross some strange problem with the Allegro 3.12 keyboard
handler and the following code:

#include <allegro.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    allegro_init();
    install_keyboard();

    readkey();
}

In a DOS box under Windows 95, it's ok.
But in plain DOS, using cwsdpmi as DPMI server, sometimes (not every time)
the computer hangs. Even Ctrl+Alt+Del no longer works.
(I'm using DJGPP 2.02, Binutils 2.8.1, GCC 2.95.1, Allegro 3.12, Cwsdpmi 4).
What happens ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
