<div>I experience the same problem as Martin, but, if I recall
correctly, only after Locator incorporated the preview option which I
use.</div>

<div>Both Locator, MacJanitor and the built in<tt><font

database in<tt><font color="#000000">
/var/db/locate.database</font></tt> - if different databases would be
used the problem wouldn't arise.</div>

<div>To be absolutely sure one should disable the preview option in
Locator and try again.</div>
