<upd_detl>It seems like it would be more helpful if this were listed under "内に" (or at least cross-referenced from "内"), with the explanation that it comes after the negative form of the verb.  

The "ない" in "ない内に" is part of the negative form of the verb, so I -- reasonably, I think -- looked up "内に" and didn't find what I was looking for.  I didn't think to break off the word at the stem and look for "ない内に".

Just a suggestion, but I think one that improves usability.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>as far as i'm concerned, it's covered by "while" (sense 2 of うち).</upd_detl>
