Okay I seemed to have fixed it, if at least temporarily by downloading the current version and installing from source. I replaced my current /usr/bin/slocate with the newly compiled one and re-updated my database and the problem went away. ftp://ftp.geekreview.org/slocate/src/slocate-2.6.tar.gz is the version I just installed. Thanks for the help everyone. ~ Collin Campbell
