I typed in the exact code that you have there, and it
set GTK to 0 as expected. I looked at the internal code
for open_dll() and it doesn't look like it could ever
return anything other than an atom.
Maybe you should try it again with the Complete Edition.
Perhaps the type_check failure occurs on some
other statement later on.
