Hello,

this is https://bugs.debian.org/567578 submitted by Kevin Ryde:

If the input to frcode doesn't have a final newline before end of file,
it drops the last char of the last filename.  Eg.

    echo -n /some/file | /usr/lib/locate/frcode >/tmp/foo.locatedb
    locate -d /tmp/foo.locatedb ''

prints

    /some/fil

where I expected it to be "/some/file".

No doubt it's a case of "don't do that", but it should be easy for
frcode to be more careful in its reading.
