I experience the same problem as Martin, but, if I recall correctly,
only after Locator incorporated the preview option which I use.
Both Locator, MacJanitor and the built in locate.updatedb script use
the same database in /var/db/locate.database - if different databases
would be used the problem wouldn't arise.
To be absolutely sure one should disable the preview option in
Locator and try again.
