Description Danny 2003-11-22 06:55:36 UTC

The program claims to have "Catastrophic error" because disclaimer text has 
changed on some whois databases.  I don't know if this is really a problem at 
all but might as well upgrade.

http://www.linux.it/~md/software/whois_4.6.8.tar.gz

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. whois -H dragonforce
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Catastrophic error: disclaimer text has been changed.
Please upgrade this program.

Expected Results:  
not displayed silly (scary?) warning/error.

Comment 1 Danny 2003-11-22 06:56:06 UTC

doh, make that:
whois -H dragonforce.com

Comment 2 Danny 2003-11-22 07:17:53 UTC

another one that will give the error is:
whois -H dragonheart.com
