Re: NSLOOKUP.EXE

[Chris Calabrese <chris_calabrese () yahoo com>]

Windows XP: *** Input is too long
Solaris 8: [...]  is not in legal name syntax (label too long)
AIX 4.3: LEX Error: input string too long to fit in yywtext[].
         Increase the array size by defining YYLMAX to be a higher
value
HP-UX 11.00 and 11.11: Memory fault(coredump)


I'm guessing the bug is in the BIND 4 distribution of nslookup and was
fixed in BIND 8.

And no, it does not surprise me that Windows might use the BIND code.

c:\>nslookup.exe AAAAA[..], but if I run nslookup with no args, then
request AAA[..]AAA it gives the 0x41414141 memory error.
