Whois dump core when you forget to specify a particular whois server (and
specifieing -h).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. whois -h 
2. whois -h whois.ripe.net
3. whois -p
	

Looks like an error in the command line parsing code (doesn`t use getopt I
suppose)

root@goliath [2116] =>ltrace -f whois -h
