Sorry, but *UPGRADING* isn't the question - the question is why locate is
not working properly. If nobody has ever seen such a problem, it would be
quite more forthright to just admit that than spout the normal crap this
list promulgates. But, then, I should have expected multiple replies that
are off topic, of no help, and not worth the time to read. Sorry, I had
momentarily forgotten the definition of OBSD Misc - my bad.
If nobody can answer the question, that's is not a problem, just say so!

4.3 was released May 1, 2008. That's almost 4 years old software. What
are you expecting here? Someone to check out the code from that
version and deeply inspect what may be causing your problem, that is
more than likely already fixed in a later version? The replies were
perfectly valid and helpful. In the software world, you're using an
antique.
They were valid replies, but a straw man argument at best. I think he
would have preferred to hear something more like:
"Yeah, I saw something similar happen on my systems running an older
release. I don't really remember the release, but I do remember the
problem eventually went away for me. I'm not really sure of what's
happening, but my best guess is giving the latest release a try and
seeing if that solves the problem for you."
