[Querying whois.nic.li]
Segmentation fault

Interesting, I can reproduce this, but only when the program is installed as /usr/bin/jwhois, is not run through the debugger, and is set setgid jwhois. If I remove any of those three criterions, it doesn't crash.

I'm a bit stumped, it doesn't seem that it wants to dump core when setgid, and doesn't crash when it isn't, making it difficult to figure out just what goes wrong.


A workaround is to remove the setgid bit (chmod 755 /usr/bin/jwhois), but that will break the caching functionality.
