Someone's been a bit messy with downloading stuff. However, these *are*
valid linux filenames, and updatedb / locate should be able to handle
them. I now exclude them by adding this to the find expression in
/usr/bin/updatedb :
... -prune -o -name "*
*" -o -print
Perhaps -print0 should be used, with appropriate changes to the sort and
frcode stuff :-)

Hello,
thanks, I can reproduce this with 4.1.20-6, by generating a testfile
using
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/findtest$ dd if=/dev/null of="`printf
'areiverinthedesertreview.htm target=_self>view it<a><font> \r\n
<li>\r\n <ul><td>\r\n <tr>\r\n <tr valign=top> \r\n
<td bgcolor=#000000><div align=center><strong><font color=#FFFFFF size=2
face=Lucida'`"
updatedb/locate 4.2.27 handles it fine, closing.
