A newer version of Jwhois does indeed exist, primarily for this very reason.

No, not that it really helps. For example this query has been sitting
there for almost twenty minutes with not a peep:
$ jwhois NetBSD.org
[Querying whois.publicinterestregistry.net]
They have a bug in their server -- it never disconnects! If you telnet
to it directly then you'll see the results quite quickly but it'll sit
there forever (well I've waited over an hour once). This causes jwhois
to appear to hang since it won't show any output until after it's got it
all (since it might be looking for redirects and such).
Even worse though all of their data is bogus right now and you really do
need to catch the redirect strings (which your patch did not provide):
"whois\\.publicinterestregistry\\.net" {
whois-redirect = ".*Whois Server:\\(.*\\)";
}
The following patch will also apparently be necessary to deal with
results from that server, but it is not sufficient to deal with the
no-disconnect bug:

Even the newest version from their public CVS server needs a few tweaks
to really be useful, especially for getting default English output where
possible. Here's my diff:
