findutils -- updatedb hangs on solaris7

[Alexander Tait Brotman]

Hello,

I'm trying to get findutils to work on a Solaris7 installation.  I have
tried both a package from solarisfreeware as well as compiling from
source(gcc 3.2.1).  `find` seems to work fine.  `updatedb` hangs or never
completes.  I basically tried just running the program in the
background(it also starts from cron).  But the program never exits and the
locatedb is never written.  It does create a locatedb.n but it never seems
to get a size.  I have tried pruning /proc/ and /dev/ with the same
results.  I can't really say its a bug in findutils, but any help would be
appreciated.  Thanks.
