>Description:

Something has changed in /usr/src/usr.bin/locate/locate/updatedb.sh
that causes the weekly building of the locate database to fail.  By
removing the '-s' switch to the find command, I'm able to get it to
work.  AFAIK, it's been like this for a while but this is the first
(small) look I've taken at why it was failing.  Unfortunately, the CVS
repo shows that this file hasn't been touched in 10 months.  Maybe the
problem is actually with 'find'?

>How-To-Repeat:

	Run 'periodic weekly'.
	Note that the resulting /var/db/locate.database is very small.

>Fix:

	Workaround:  Remove '-s' from the find command in
	/usr/libexec/locate.updatedb .
