1) The problem with locate was traced to a bunch of session files; 2) The problem was fixed by cleaning them the hard way. There is no way to know if an upgrade would have fixed the problem, as upgrading is/was/would be just a distraction; it is not good practice to try and obscure the problem, and I do not understand why some people here like to expouse such practices. Sure, there is no support for 4.3, but, then I did not ASK for support on 4.3 (to read the OP). Don't bother to try and dixtract from the original problem - it juse makes it harder for those LOOKING for the problem and solution to find it in all the noise. Lee
