Do you have smbfs mounted when find/updatedb is running? 2.2.18pre fixes
an old bug where smbfs didn't check the length of the path it was building
vs the buffer used to store the path. Depending on what you have mounted
this can cause all sorts of fun things to happen.
If you had not used smbfs since booting then that is not it, and then I
know nothing about it.
