Follow-up Comment #2:
I'm afraid you are mistaken, as you have not correctly protected the
arguments you're passing from interpretation by the shell. This point is
demonstrated by the attached script which shows the same problem applying to
an invocation of grep.
Essentially what's happening is that . is interpreted by the shell as an
escaped . (despite the fact that . is not special to the shell). Hence
you're passing ..*$ to the locate program. ..*$ matches any string at least
one character long.
