tcp-conn hang at end of "server...low priority"

["Wilfried Woeber, UniVie/ACOnet" <]

  Dear DB-folks!
  
  My whois client seems to have problems in closing the TCP connection to
  the server at the end of a "more specifics" query that puts the server
  into "low priority mode".
  
  Looking at the output, it seems that I get all the information I should
  be getting (in the sequence in which it was loaded into the DB). 
  Then my server just hangs. Has anybody else seen this before?

  I never have seen problems (even with long output lists) which don't
  put the server in low-priority mode.
  
  Anything that I may be doing wrong?
  Thanks.
  Wilfried.
