I fixed most of the locate bugs in FreeBSD 2 years ago. You
can run locate on garbage and it will not core.

$ locate -d /kernel foobar
locate: locate database header corrupt, bigram char outside 0, 32-127: 11

The sources are available at the FreeBSD FTP server or at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.bin/locate
