Whenever I use locate to search for files, It doesn't matter what file, I get 
 the following message at the end of it's search :

fatal error : locate : decode_db : 'pathlen == -5 ' ! Corrupt Database !

For some programs, Like netscape, It will list all the files before ending 
with this message.
For other programs, Like Gaim for example, It lists the users home directory, 
then kicks up this error. It does not list all of the program's associated 
files / directories .
So I realize that apparantly the Database has somehow become corrupted, But 
how do I repair it , and solve this problem?
I am running Mandrake 8.2.
TIA.
