Seems this version doesn't work for me:
root@matrix:~# whois sourcemage.org
getaddrinfo(whois.publicinterestregistry.net): Bad value for ai_flags
root@matrix:~# whois linux.org
getaddrinfo(whois.publicinterestregistry.net): Bad value for ai_flags

After "dispel -d whois 4.7.13" all is ok.

Just writing to the author of whois...


From author of whois:
Your problem is that your libc is compiled without IDN support, but
AI_IDN is defined anyway in netdb.h.
Arguably this is a glibc bug, but I would not hold my breath waiting for
it to be fixed.
Either rebuild glibc with IDN support or disable it at the top of
whois.c.

Seems no IDN support in our glibc.
Yea, when I remove from whois.c:

/* for AI_IDN */
#define _GNU_SOURCE

it works. :-)
Is it SMGL problem and I/Matthew should fix whois or it is only my problem?

Probably SMGL problem due to glibc. Perhaps we can add IDN support to
glibc (optionally, of course ;)) and then have whois check that and
build properly.
