Cygwin 1.5.5-1: whois misbehaviour

[Michael Bax (NO.SPAM)]

Hi

By my reading of the man page, the Cygwin whois appears to ignore
the --version and --verbose options that are listed in the man page and/or
built-in help.

It also appears to me that it ignores the WHOIS_SERVER environment variable:
	>setenv WHOIS_SERVER whois.stanford.edu
	>whois mbax
	No whois server is known for this kind of object.
	>whois mbax@whois.stanford.edu
	NO MATCH

This is Cygwin DLL 1.5.5-1 running on Windows 2000 SP4.

Cheers
Michael
