nop.  
Carsten is right there. If you delete a pointer whose value is 0L, nothing 
happens (this is assured by the language)

the only problem is if you delete some object and NOT set the pointer to null 
or if you have two pointer to the objects, but in those cases doing a if(foo) 
won't help either.
