Hello,

I am using Allegros configuration-file feature to parse some project
specific configurationfile(s). Therefore I call the function
"set_config_file" before allegro_init, which works fine in a Win98 DOS box,
but crashes horrible (segment violation is signalled in rhide) in a pure DOS
environment (Win98 DOS). When debugging through allegros sources, the
violation occures when the function "uconvert" at line 689 in /src/unicode.c
is returning the string 's' (which is the filename of the config-file). Has
anybody any idea how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance for any advice

Martin
