I'm not sure why this would crash, but it is grossly incorrect to call
any other Allegro functions before using allegro_init(). Trying to set a
video mode before initialising the lib is just asking for trouble...

Also, why are you passing zero as the first param to set_gfx_mode()?
Using the GFX_* defines would make your code more readable, and prevent
it from breaking if I ever change what the actual numbers are.
