oh my!

how about, looking up the definition of t_symbol in m_pd.h?
    typedef struct _symbol
    {
      char *s_name;
      struct _class **s_thing;
      struct _symbol *s_next;
    } t_symbol;

so the *only* proper way to access the string within a symbol is by
dereferencing the s_name member.

    post("%s", s->s_name);
