Quoting from: http://www.geekreview.org/slocate/
Changes v2.2: Fixed a segfault. If the environment variable
LOCATE_PATH had an invalid slocate.db file path, slocate could
segfault. Proper checking now takes place to fix this.
I think this was fixed 00/06/22 -- but I am not entirely clear on how
the dates line up with the versions mentioned. (And no, I don't know if
the fix managed to break other items..)
In the past, Kevin was very friendly and helpful when I contacted him.
Unless that has changed I think getting fixes into new versions is
pretty easy. :)
