The number of registrars queried depends upon your whois implementation. These various 'blah sucks' things in whois are old news. My guess is that they're having some sort of network infrastructure difficulty (router, switch, load-balancer) or a disk farm outage or somesuch. Occam's Razor. Dee McKinney wrote:

I'd guess that some cracker broke something somewhere? Maybe a DNS crack? Maybe Andover went bankrupt and pulled the plug on us? Maybe Micro$oft is behind this? It sort of illustrates the hazards of having all the open-source eggs on one server farm....
