This problem was fixed in Allegro 3.12. I would recommend
using the current WIP (version 3.925); it also supports Linux
and Win32 to some extent.

Perhaps, if c.o.m.d readers would like it, I could make up a
MFAQ (most frequently asked questions) list and put it on my
web site. This might save Usenet bandwidth.
