[Pkg-allegro-maintainers] Bug#395909: liballegro4.2: programs using allegro segfault under valgrind

[Alexander E. Patrakov]

Package: liballegro4.2
Version: 2:4.2.0-5
Severity: normal

I attempted to find a bug in my own program (that uses allegro) with
valgrind. The result is that I got a segfault that I didn't get before,
and the output from valgrind doesn't mention anything from my program.

Then I attempted to valgrind the Allegro Demo. Also got a segfault. Some
(but not all) provided examples segfault under valgrind too.

I think that any "good" library should behave well under valgrind, and
at least not to segfault.
