Have a 4.3 server with a really weird problem: locate ONLY indexes one [user file] partition! IOW, no binaries are indexed, nor is /usr/, /var, ..

All filesystems are ffs;

I deleted /var/db/locate.db and recreated with /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb more than once;

locate.rc is stock:

==================
TMPDIR="/var/tmp"
FCODES="/var/db/locate.database"
SEARCHPATHS="/"
PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /var/tmp /usr/tmp"
FILESYSTEMS="ffs ufs ext2fs"

[comments pruned]
=================

The locate database seems to be normal:

Database: /var/db/locate.database
Compression: Front: 19.48%, Bigram: 65.90%, Total: 14.52%
Filenames: 218512, Characters: 14825215, Database size: 2153551
Bigram characters: 734303, Integers: 5440, 8-Bit characters: 3

=================

Trying to troubleshoot a Perl module problem, and locate is not returning any hits except user files <g>!

Any pointers on what is 'intefering' with the process?
