This i s awkward, but you could look at the source code for Allegro and
investigate whether the note-playing functions for the MIDI player could
be made public. This could fail to work, though.

Try using the command-line dat utility to add the picture to the datafile
and see if it still occurs. The syntax is:

dat -a (filename.dat) (filename.pcx)

where (filename.dat) is the filename of the datafile and (filename.pcx) is
the filename of the PCX picture file. If you're using an automatic header
file, also put `-h (filename.h)' and perhaps `-p (prefix)'  if you want to
prefix each constant.
