Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure but it seems that your snippet will put a text on a screen always when the delegates are equal. Anyway, I've rewrote that routine as you suggested and here's the result: http://monobin.com/__mb1963e9 

I've also just added a lines like below to the end of original equals method. 

 	if (this == this.prev)
 		Console.WriteLine ("The corrupted instance is {0}", this.GetType ());
        return this.prev.Equals(d.prev);

...and I'm waiting for a crush. 
I'd appreciate any other hints or advices. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
