If the system wasn't up at 04:22, then anacron will reschedule the
job for some time within 60(?) minutes of startup. In the case of a
system that was started just to do a demo, it's pretty likely that the
slocate job would kick off right in the middle.
So, to avoid the situation you'd have to disable or reconfigure
anacron.
