>Organization:
>Environment:
System: FreeBSD edgemaster.zombie.org 4.4-STABLE FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #1: Sat Sep 29 22:12:48 CDT 2001 root@edgemaster.zombie.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/EDGEMASTER i386
	Multiple machines, /usr/src/usr.bin/whois/whois.c version 1.15.2.4
>Description:
	The whois client mangles output when doing specific searches and
	presented with specific results, specifically with results lacking
	a final CR.
>How-To-Repeat:
	First, do 'whois haha.biz'.  Notice the odd output?
	Now, do 'whois haha.biz|cat'.  Notice the different output?

	Example:
	(1) smkelly@edgemaster:~$ whois haha.biz
	*some long list of ports*
	(2) smkelly@edgemaster:~$ whois haha.biz|cat
	...
	Not found: haha.bizet

	Very obscure behavior.
>Fix:
	Not known yet.  Telnet to biz.whois-servers.net for a workaround:
	(4) smkelly@edgemaster:~$ telnet biz.whois-servers.net whois
	Trying 209.173.57.169...
	Connected to whois.neulevel.biz.
	haha.biz
	...
	Not found: haha.bizConnection closed by foreign host.
	(Note lack of CR)
