 Finally, I find out thet locate.exe works perfectly... when the
database is not too big. In fact, when I run

updatedb c:/     (where c: is a 34 Gigabyte disk with a lot of files)

then locate crashes with a page fault. But, when I run updatedb on a
limited number of files, it runs OK. I shall look whether I'm able to
correct that.

Anyway, the *char value read_pos is incremented WITHOUT any check in
getline.c, so that if for some reason ia line is huge, the crash is very
likely.
