this is the source:

void main ( void )
{
        BITMAP          *grass;
        PALETTE         grass_palette;

        allegro_init();
        install_keyboard();

        set_gfx_mode ( GFX_AUTODETECT, 320, 200, 0, 0 );     // works ok

        load_bitmap ( "grass.bmp", grass_palette );     // works ok
        set_palette ( grass_palette );                  // works ok

        clear_to_color ( screen, 4 );                   // fill screen

        delay ( 2000 );                                 // delay in ms

        draw_sprite ( screen, grass, 160, 100 );        // program dies!!

        while ( !keypressed() );
}


the screen goes to the color, waits 2secs, then crashes. WHY???
