I strongly recommend to upgrade to at least version 1.2,
which is available via ftp from any of the DJGPP sites.

Why you are doing this in that way. Using the RHIDE dos shell to
run from there your program is really a bad thing or do you not
know, that you can run your program directly from RHIDE
(menu Run/Run or Ctrl+F9)?

That means also, that you selected "File/Dos shell", then you started
your program, then you typed "exit" and now you got the stack dump?


So please again: Try to run your program either with Ctrl+F9
from inside RHIDE or exit RHIDE and then run it, because
your program uses allegro and this library does many hard
things by programming directly the hardware of your computer
and/or hooks some hardware interrupts which will cause at any
time problems, since MS-DOS has no mechanism to protect one
program for manipulations done by other programs.
