WJFFM.  I created a new updatedb like this:

  $ LC_ALL=C updatedb --prunefs='nfs smbfs' --prunepaths='/dev /cygdrive /proc /tmp /var/cache/ccache /var/spool /var/tmp /usr/bin /usr/lib'

                                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is an address within the locate executable itself, line 58 in
lib/splitstring.c.  Either a wrong pointer or a broken length
information.

Does it work if you regenerate your updatedb, perhaps?

Eric, is this perhaps a know bug in locate from findutils 4.5.11?
