I thought about posting earlier...but decided it wasn't operational
enough.  Now that someone else has broken the ice...whois
is hosed...the root servers are using old data.  Things like:

whois "server KASHM-HST"

don't work today.  I got a call this morning from an ex-customer who moved
several domains last week.  Today, they mysteriously moved back to
us...both in whois and the root servers.
