You might look higher up the traceback to see where in *your* code the
call to the crashing function is coming from.  Read the docs for the
Allegro function you call over, and make sure you're calling it right. 
If you think you are, post your source and a complete symified traceback
so people can investigate.

If you're not getting a traceback, recompile Allegro with debugging
enabled (its manual explains this) and relink your app.

Btw, please include in your posts either previous replies or some sort
of summary to refresh the reader's memory as to the history of the
discussion; it's hard to recall much from a contextless comment like
this one, especially in a high-traffic group like this.
