Might as well. It's the kind of thing that could turn into a real
bug given some rearrangement of the code.

I'd be in favor of fixing those too. I have no particular problem with
either "if (ptr)" or "if (ptr != NULL)", but I think that "if (ptr != 0)"
gives the reader entirely the wrong impression about the datatype of ptr.
Just because C fails to distinguish doesn't make it good style.
