Erm, yes, I am an idiot :-D Those two pointers are pretty much guaranteed 
NOT to be equal *shames* What I meant was the equality check with your "foo" 
atom, as you described in the original topic:

There you could add the || and strcmp to prevent your code from breaking in 
case pointer equality is not guaranteed, is what I meant. I'm not sure if 
this is a practical solution for your atom table in general, was rather just 
a thought.
