(Gutsy) Looking up certain ips in whois tab freezes network-tools

[nowshining]

when searching for the info. on ip 146.134.8.125 in the whois tab in network tools it freezes - network tools 2.20.0 and having to force quit it to exit out of it..

Also it says when getting SOME info before it freezes Latino American ip registry however on http://network-tools.com/default.asp?prog=whois&host=146.134.8.125 it shows diff. and that site gets all the info. and I suppose all websites will also that query the whois registry for info. So far all other ips work fine and DO NOT freeze up network tools..

adding that I use a P4 2.66ghz - 32-bit computer.

adding that these ips do the same also one just acts like it is still downloading whois info even tho it isn't and it was done..

190.154.124.200
200.86.35.235
24.195.183.241 - finishes getting whois info. however bar at bottom acts like it has NOT.
200.101.177.110

i uused xprop | grep WM_CLASS to determine that network tools is the stated above package, if it's not the cause please input it into the right category someone wills ya.. :)

whois from the command line works fine with those IPS address, will forward upstream to see what they think about it, thanks you.

I've sent this upstream at: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=503587

I have solved this bug.
The problem was with particular char for example with address 146.134.8.125 one string is: "Marco Antônio Raupp"
I have solved with changing the encoding (local charset -> ISO-8859-1) only for this problematic string.
