I had a similar problem with example 26, where I reclassed everything
and turned it into a beginning c++ style basic example (its the 
starship through the star field).  I was using my 486 33Mhz at the
time and whenever I made the ship go "up" it crashed Allegro and
simify only returned more address numbers and not function names.

at any rate, as soon as I put in a 486Dx2/66 the program worked
without a problem.
