	I wrote a program to allow my automatic midi-downloader to verify a mess
of mids using the midi_load in allegro, and it works great except for a
song called "tarkus.mid", which DOES work but will not load in Allegro.
	I tracked the bug and found that the file is 15 minutes long and has 35
channels, which is over the 32 that Allegro allows.  I think that the
arbitrary limit should be revised, or at least allow the loading and
truncation of such files.
