Hi! Theo pointed out an issue with nc(1), as mentioned in
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups=#!topic/muc.lists.freebsd.bugs/0yNFZVHClcI and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netcat-openbsd/+bug/544935 that was causing people headaches. For me, this diff (which seems like a typical copy-paste error) does the job. At least with "echo 7.6.5.4 | nc whois.ripe.net 43".
