Whois utility stops reporting halfway through a lookup.

Hello KS-Soft!

I have recently bought IP_Tools and what an incredibly useful program it is! However, I have noticed a problem with the "whois" utility.

I tried looking up the domian "wilsonslaw.com" using the utility and a strange thing happens every time I click "start". The utility appears to give up half way through the whois lookup. This happens specifically on "wilsonslaw.com" and I think some other domains too. Most other domains I try seem to work fine, successfully reporting back to me the registered details of that domian.

For illustration purposes I have taken a screen shot which you can find here:
http://www.jinja-ninja.co.uk/whois.htm

As you can see in the above image, at the bottom of the screenshot, the last line displayed is "Sal". Why does it stop there? I have looked up "wilsonslaw.com" with the "whois" website and it reports back all the details without this problem, so I know it's there waiting to be found!

Also (if this helps) you will notice that 5 lines down from the top of the screenshot the line "prohibited without the prior written consent of Networ" ends abruptly, but is carried on in the next (6th) line: "k Solutions. You agree not to use". About a week ago it used to stop reporting THERE - but now it seems to have got over this block and continued for another half a page before stopping again as explained above.

Does anyone else have this problem? Have I a dodgy copy and need to reinstall? Or is this a known bug? Please help!

Thanks,

Thank you Alex!

That fixed it straight away. I can't see how I would get that patch other than by the URL you posted above. I wonder if I have missed the page with this patch on?

Anyway - problem solved! Job's a good'un!
