The problem with the Allegro source is that it's cryptic as hell
because of the generic multi-purpose nature of the lib, so it's
extremely hard to learn anything from it and/or pinpoint the exact
piece of code which you're looking for. There is a real problem with
the LFB stuff, the examples in the DJGPP User's Guide _crash_on_exit_.
