Judging by the privilege, I'd guess that it's not a virus - if that's what you 
mean by a problem.  I can't, however, imagine why a program would need to 
carry out such an operation, so I'd say that there's something rather weird 
about the way Allegro CL is implemented (at least until I hear an explanation).

MS Excel is the only other program I've seen that pulls the same stunt.

For a number of reasons, when I created GateKeeper 1.1.1, I made the 
SetResAttrs monitor less strict, so, if you don't already have 1.1.1, get a
copy and try it out.  Allegro CL may not need privileges for that operation
anymore.

Let me know what you find out.
