How about that, the segfault is happening in another shell script. :-)

Same idea applies. Edit /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb and change the line
that calls /usr/libexec/locate.mklocatedb so that it's:

	if $find -s $SEARCHPATHS $excludes -or -print 2>/dev/null |
		sh -x $mklocatedb -presort > $tmp

Then we get to see what comamnd in _that_ script is segfaulting.

This advice assumes, of course, that there isn't someone else who's
given you better advice already. :-)

Later,
Sheldon.
