I am making a game with allegro:

typedef struct tagANIM
{
double clock;
unsigned char *next;
}ANIM;

ANIM *anims;

Then I load all the data into the anim structure (by malloc'ing ) its a
basic linked list.
ok then in some parts of my program I go like this:


ANIM *t;
t=(ANIM *)anims;

do
  {
  t->clock++;
  [alot of code here]
  }while(!ENDGAME);

Ok...heres the problem....everytime I run the program it gives me an
error.  I can trace it back to t->clock++, but if I remove the do/while
loop...it works perfectly. (but I need the loop).  If I fix one then the
error is then loacted at another point in the program, but in a sub that
has the same loop as above.

I think its whatever statement that is right after the DO that will
error.  if I put t->clock++ before the DO loop wvwrything is fine.   Has
anyone ever experienced this?
