Using -ignore_readdir_race in updatedb

Hello,
Browsing over latest CVS I found this:
---------------
New option "-ignore_readdir_race" (opposite -noignore_readdir_race)
silences an error messages which would otherwise occur if a file is
removed after find has read it from the directory using readdir(), but
before find stats the file.
---------------

Could this option be used in updatedb? Currently the only sane way to
run updatedb with cron is with '>/dev/null 2>&1' because you get these
spurious errors. But this will dump real errors too.

             thanks, cu andreas
