The first error is my program crashing:


Shutting down Allegro

So I wrote:

C:\TOOLS\Code\Death>symify death.exe

It prints the debug information, but then:

Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV

Also, the debug information for my game points to lines in the source 
code which seem irrelevant - one of them is even blank. (If it's any 
help, the problem I am having is related to vectors)
