error in "locate"

Hello,

I have a non-critical bug in the locate tool, "GNU locate version 4.1.7".   
When it is run with a bad command, or the --help option, it returns the desired 
help menu, but does not do a line break afterwards, so the shell prompt begins 
on the same line.  Here is an example of my output:

address@hidden locate --hepl
locate: unrecognized option `--hepl'
Usage: locate [-d path | --database=path] [-e | --existing]
      [-i | --ignore-case] [--version] [--help] pattern...

Report bugs to <address@hidden>address@hidden locate --help
Usage: locate [-d path | --database=path] [-e | --existing]
      [-i | --ignore-case] [--version] [--help] pattern...

Report bugs to <address@hidden>address@hidden locate --version
GNU locate version 4.1.7
address@hidden

Hope that helps!  Sorry if this is a dupe.
