hangs after whois 88.198.41.48

[Michael]

Binary package hint: gnome-nettool

gnome-nettool hangs after query whois (last tab) of the following ip address : 88.198.41.48
a manual whois in the terminal of this ip address is no problem
The 'hang' produces a 100% cpu usage too (measured with top in a separate terminal)

Thanks for your bug report. Please try to obtain a backtrace of the hang http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

With all respect a 'hang' does not produce a backtrace in my opinion. I could be wrong
Bug can be easily reproduced.
My time is now limited but I promise I will look at it and do my best to produce a backtrace.

The backtrace of the hang.

Bacause the hang bring not the focus back to gdb, I was force the press the <CRTL-C> key.
Only then, I was able to enter the final gdb commands which produced the log:
backtrace full
info registers
thread apply all backtrace

a screendump is also provided before I pressed the <CRTL-C> key, it shows perfectly the hang consumes all CPU time and the application is not responsive anymore.

Hope this helps to solve this bug
