'kay, a problem I've had when using allegro for doing keyboard input.

I'm writing a game where two players can both access the keyboard at
once.  I've got no problem doing this, if each player presses the keys
rapidly, they each get a go, more or less in order.  The problem I've
found, though, is that if one of them holds down a key, their hold down
is remembered, but as soon as another key is pressed and released, the
held down key is ignored, and they have to release the key and hold it
down again.  Why is this, and what can I do about it?
