Actually, is it really reducing the potential for false positives?

Let's recap: _p_initialize is defined when the Pascal runtime is linked
in. _p_MO__main_program is sufficiently unlikely that such a symbol name
should be a Pascal procedure pretty much all the time. So I'm wondering
whether checking for _p_initialize will help reducing the number of
false positive at all (because would _p_MO__main_program => _p_initialize).
So is this patch really better than the previous one?
