Hi, 

at least on my computer locate used to segfault every
time i would try to locate something.. 
i searched among different distributions for patches..
(because i don't feel like trying to trace their C
code) and slackware's patch works.

in case anyone is interested, 
what i did is:
in the src_unpack i have:
    unpack ${A}
    echo "Applying Patch..."
    cd ${S}
    zcat
/usr/portage/sys-apps/findutils/findutils-4.1.diff.gz
| patch -p1 -E #Slackware patch

findutils-4.1.diff.gz is attached to this email.
(and can also be found in the slackware source tree
ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-8.0/source/a/find/
)
(and locate doesn't segfault :-)
