If it's static it's probably not to be f*cked with. Like private members
in a C++ class. Exploiting the guts of an implementation and all. I think
you should just use set_gfx_mode(GFX_TEXT,80,25,0,0). If you really need
to clear away Allegro-rerouted interrupts and other stuff call
allegro_exit(), and call allegro_init() when you need it again.
