I was playing around with an the allegro library yesterday, and accidentally
entered this code...

int main(void)
{

[various declarations...]

set_mouse_sprite(NULL);
allegro_init()

[code to display mouse, set graphics mode etc]

}

Well, despite the 'set_mouse_sprite' call coming before the 'allegro_ init'
call it compiled and ran OK under Windows 3.11, but gave a segmentation
fault under DOS (w/CWSDPMI).  Obviously, calling 'set_mouse_sprite' after
allegro_init worked fine, so I don't need a fix, I just wondered why it
happened.
