I'll see if I can recreate the bug. The problem wasn't that the value wasn't
an atom - the PD version wouldn't say what the error was. I had a portion of
the code something like this:

   atom GTK, GDK
   ...
   GTK = open_dll( "...some lib..." )
   GTK = open_dll( "...some other lib..." )  <-- error occured here

I stuck in a debug statement:

   atom GTK, GDK
   object xxx
   ...
   GTK = open_dll( "...some lib..." )
   xxx = open_dll( "...some other lib..." )
   GTK = open_dll( "...some other lib..." )  <-- error occured here

Tracing the code showed that

        xxx = 0

But when the assignment to GTK took place, Euphoria reported an error at the
machine_proc() call. I was able to duplicate the error several times.
Finally, I changed the code to:

   object GTK, GDK
   ...
   GTK = open_dll( "...some lib..." )
   GTK = open_dll( "...some other lib..." )

and it ran without error.

Perhaps I have flakey memory or something.

Thanks!
