        I know I don't deserve another chance, but this _is_ America,
        and as an American, aren't I entitled to one?  --Sideshow Bob.

>Description:
net/jwhois is build by default with the --with-cache configure argument.
This is quite surprising when the average user doesn't realize jwhois caches
data locally, and can cause heart-attack-like symptoms when said user thinks
his domain renewal didn't go through.

This option should be controlled by a variable, and default to off, just like
the original distribution.

>How-To-Repeat:
Renew a domain.  Use jwhois 24 hours later and begin to swear at your registrar
of choice.

>Fix:
Obvious.
