Agreed. One company I worked for sent me on a 4 day long "chat" with
an IP attorney once upon a time. In short, get everything IP-related
in writing before you set foot in the place, and (with this
documentation) specifically enumate any previous IP you've developed,
and are currently working on or plan to start working on so as to
exclude it.

The thing to remember is that even if the people you're working for
now are a small friendly bunch, that doesn't mean that the company
won't be sold tomorrow and the new company's lawyers will try to claim
everything you've ever done as their legal IP. ;-)
