>From the comments to atari_atari:

/* atari_atari(color, *move) looks for a series of ataris on
 * strings of the other color culminating in the capture of
 * a string which is thought to be invulnerable by the reading
 * code. Such a move can be missed since it may be that each
 * string involved individually can be rescued, but nevertheless
 * one of them can be caught. The simplest example is a double
 * atari. The return value is the size of the smallest opponent
 * worm. 

The position in atari_atari:17 fits this definition exactly.
