If you're random Joe Schmoe who happens to need a database, I don't expect you to contribute. But when you're of the largest tech firms in the world...

Is kill -11 even allowed?

On the other hand, the OOM killer is worst of all: "kill process or sacrifice child."

For the benefit of anyone reading this later, the function to check end-of-file should be feof, not foef.

The Danish word for 99 is nioghalvfems, which literally means "nine and half five." Which you could be forgiven for assuming meant 11½. The trick is that a) "half five" actually means 4½, as in half less than five, and b) it's implied that you're supposed to multiply the second part by 20. So the proper math is 9 + (-½ + 5) * 20 = 99.
