>Description:
	nslookup doesn't understand all dns tags correctly.
	Unfortunately, it prints out junk rather than telling so. The
	zone description for our domain Rhein.De looks as follows:

 | $ORIGIN de.
 | rhein		IN	SOA	gatekeeper.rhein.de. ws.rhein.de. (
 | 		1996030101 14400 5400 1209600 259200 )

	When I call nslookup, it looks as follows:

 | simons@peti:~$ nslookup -type=any rhein.de.
 | Server:  peti.rhein.de
 | Address:  193.175.27.170
 |

 |         refresh = 14400 (4 hours)
 |         retry   = 5400 (1 hour 30 mins)
 |         expire  = 1209600 (14 days)
 |         minimum ttl = 259200 (3 days)

 | rhein.de        text = "c/o: Walter Steiner, PO Box 1624"
 | ÿø÷"€ÿde        text = "
 | (name truncated?)
 | *** peti.rhein.de can't find rhein.de.: Unspecified error

	nslookup on SunOS, does, nonetheless, show all entries
	correctly.

	I use the following version of nslookup under 1.1:

 | simons@peti:~$ ident `which nslookup`
 | /usr/sbin/nslookup:
