Asi pred rokom a pol sa mi stalo nieco podobne, vtedy bola chyba v
deklaracii funkcie get_short(). Hadzalo to core dump ak nasledujuca
prehladavana cesta bola kratsia oproti predchadzajucej o viac ako 256
znakov (prechadzal hlboky strom). Chybu/patch som oznamil/poslal, ale
netusim, ci s tym nieco spravili (nikto sa mi neozval) ..  Skuste, mozno to
je ono (vid prilozeny patch).

	Fix for locate v. 4.1, which does core dump, if there is difference
	between following directories bigger than 256 chars.
