whois returns exit code 1 for .com domains

[clomo]

whois exits with code 1 for domains where whois.verisign-grs.com is queried. I would expect to receive exit code "0", but instead I got "1".

I have tested this on Ubuntu Xenial with whois 5.1.1 and 5.2.11.
Other domains I have tested: amazon.com, cnn.com, apple.com, google.net

I think this bug is related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/whois/+bug/1468742 but was said to be fixed.

[Marco d'Itri (md)]

Verisign changed the output and broke the client. Wait for the next release.
