locate doesn't handle newlines in file names?

[bug_findutils]

Hello,

I made a small test:

% touch "a\
b"
(i.e. create a file with the name "a\nb", something hacker might do)

<run updatedb>

run locate on ALL the files in its database.

Apparently locate reports the above-created file as "a" (there is no
file "a" in that directory, I checked).

Are you aware of this limitation? Maybe it's worth a mention in the manuel?

I'm using findutils 4.1.7 on Debian unstable.
