Ok, it seems a recent MFC made /bin/sh DTRT after all.
Indeed the line in locate.mklocatedb:
|| exit 1
is faulty. Either the line before needs a backslash to continuate the
line, or drop the '||'.
I'm not sure why the locate script hasn't been (completely) fixed, but
it should be fixed. Not /bin/sh.
Same goes for that ugly mysql startup script.

The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armour to
lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores
the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led
them into it in the first place. - Douglas Adams (1952-2001)
