Peter -- This is a pretty strange consequence of running the "locate"
command. And I cannot replicate it here. For example:
ray@waverly:~$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 773892 742056 31836 0 87600 441912
-/+ buffers/cache: 212544 561348
Swap: 0 0 0
ray@waverly:~$ locate /usr/bin/f*
/usr/bin/factor
[about 40 more lines, deleted here]
ray@waverly:~$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 773892 742076 31816 0 87608 441924
-/+ buffers/cache: 212544 561348
Swap: 0 0 0
Any idea what's causing the change on your system? My understanding of
Linux says it shouldn't work the way you report seeing it, so I'm wondering
what I am missing.
