    hmm, i guess this is possible.  of course, a NULL pointer is the same as
    a useful pointer that returns a-ok.  it's nice to sanity check as much
    as possible.  how about we leave this for the time being, given the work
    arounds (good pointer, return 0 implementation, bad non-zero pointer)?
