Ah, the infamous "Keith the Rat" - C++'s unofficial mascot that perfectly embodies memory management in the language. Just like Keith is missing a limb, your program is probably missing proper pointer cleanup. The joke satirizes C++'s reputation for being powerful yet dangerous - where one wrong move with pointers can blow your application's leg clean off. And much like this diseased rodent, legacy C++ codebases often carry the infections of technical debt that nobody wants to touch. The attribution to Richard Stallman adds an extra layer of programming in-joke, as he's the GNU/free software crusader who would absolutely hate being associated with this monstrosity. Memory leaks, undefined behavior, and segmentation faults send their regards!
