>Description:
This port builds fine, but runtime is broken for me. I compiled it with --enable-debug and this is what i got (may be threads related):

"""
(gdb) file xwhois
Reading symbols from xwhois...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/xwhois 
(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...[New LWP 101307]

0x284216e0 in malloc_usable_size () from /lib/libc.so.7
"""

It's an old gtk-1 application that was last updated more than 10 years ago, it's unmaintained in a ports tree and haven't active support by upstream, so i think that it may be safely removed.

I didn't tested runtime in 8 and 7 though.
