This happens often when you do something you shouldn't, for example, using

clear(bmp);

to clear a bitmap before you use

BITMAP *bmp = create_bitmap(320, 200);  (or something similar)

to create a bitmap in memory.  I often find that when something like that is
happening I'm trying to do something illegal that has to do with pointers.  (And
often using bitmap stuff)

I doubt it's a bug in Allegro, but take a close look at your code, you'll probably
find something...
