First, build the debugging version of Allegro as its docs describe. Rebuild your program with it, run it again, and symify the traceback. Then look at the assembler for that location, and see what sort of code it is. It may be you're doing something like executing an RDTSC on a 486, or perhaps a pointer is messed and you're executing data. It's also suspicious that the es register is invalid; something messed it up along the way. Watch for that as well. -- Nate Eldredge nate AT cartsys DOT com
