>Description:

When the whois client receives a first answer of a query on the .BR whois 
server it detects the string "whois.registro.br" on the answer and make a
second recursive query on the same server. This feature was introduced to
follow a referral from the ARIN whois server and works for IPs but it will
make the same query 2 times for .BR domain names when the server is not
specified on the command line. The following patch prevents the client
from recur on the same server   

	
>How-To-Repeat:

Using this version of the whois client

 "$FreeBSD: src/usr.bin/whois/whois.c,v 1.15.2.7 2001/12/09 07:20:39
  mike Exp $";

try:

$ whois registro.br
