What were you trying to do?
Use host to perform a query for a specific querytype,
but I left off the host name.
Setting the class to another class but leaving
off the host name causes the same behavior.
What's wrong:
host produced a Segmentation fault
What should have happened:
host should have produced an error message like "Host not found."
(which is what happens if you include other options but forget the
host name) or the usage information (which is what happnes if you
give it no options).
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
