#94 Check return codes everywhere
Some checks for return codes are missing.
Examples:
Would you like to add more error handling for return values from "pthread_mutex_lock" like in the function "check_for_lock_file" and from "lseek" in the function "get_page"?

This would be a good fix for a newcomer to get involved.
How do you think about the reaction "exit(errno)" or "abort()"?
Would you like to reduce the efforts for error code checking by an exception class hierarchy?
