I already searched for a documented bug in Romdos but couldn't find 
anyone reporting such a misbehaviour. The datalight support hasn't 
answered yet.

I just disabled alle CRC checking and all writing to files. The only file 
I use right now is an allegro data file which is opend at start up und 
closed as soon as all data has been copied to memory. So this file isn't 
used after the program start up anymore. But the problem still exists.

No, there is no allegro data embeded into the executable. I use an 
allegro data file which is only read at program start up and closed after 
that.
