Neither does the choice of programming language.. not adequately
anyway.  The point is, you obviously don't want to be using malloc to
deal with billions of objects.

Actually, you might want to try using SQLite 3.x or something like it. 
It's probably going to be better suited at dealing with all that data
than anything you'd be able to write in a reasonable amount of time.
