When I create display a for the second time i keep getting a seg fault(note: this is a secondary window created on a mouse click). when the user exits the window i call al_destroy_display() then recreate it when they want to open it. what causes a a program to crash on al_create_display other than not calling al_init()? heres the call stack:
