Stable from october.  I think the problem has been around for a while,
but I had had no time to figure out why locate database seemed to be empty.

>Description:

Symtom is that locate update does not include all files in the
database, because the find terminates early.

>How-To-Repeat:

On one of my hosts this will terminate when run as nobody:

find -s / \! \( -fstype ufs \) -prune -or -path /tmp -prune -or -path /usr/tmp
-prune -or -path /var/tmp -prune -or -print
...

The command is what locate.updatedb uses.  I found this when trying to
figure out why locate database did not contain some of the files which
certainly were there.

>Fix:

If -s is left out, find completes.  Thus, workaround for
locate.updatedb problem is replacing -s with "| sort" after find, but
that is not particularly efficient.  Find should not consider
permission denied a fatal error.
