That certainly used to be the case, but I thought it was fixed in
Allegro 3.0 (the keyboard handler now writes the updated shift state 
into an internal BIOS memory location during the shutdown process). 
Are you using Allegro 3.0, and are you sure this exit code is being
called correctly, ie. did you remember to call allegro_init() at
the start of your program?
