What version of the package do you have?

Mine stops at the same point as when run with -h.  IOW, I get the
snippet of output that tell me to run "whois -h whois.nic.or.kr"
and when I do that manually, I indeed get the specific info for
the smaller IP block, but the client doesn't do it automatically.

Lennart> Might be worth looking at how that version is implemented.

I did. :-( I know better than go ask here without any research, believe
me.  It seems to handle exactly 2 types of referrals, and this one
(embedded within "remarks:" lines) is not one of them.
