System name:		x15-cruise-basselope.mit.edu
Type and version:	Ultra-1 8.2.7 (with mkserv)
Display type:		ffb

What were you trying to do?
	get MX records for a domain using the -Z option

What's wrong:
	with -Z, which (at least with the version in the
consult locker) is supposed to display the information
in a format similiar to the zone files, host just appears
to hang, even if the cache is primed by a prior host -t
mx call.  I also note that the man page is in horrible
shape.

	Of course, I wouldn't be suprised if these were
a problem with the BIND distribution :)

What should have happened:
	the MX records should have been displayed in the
format I was expecting.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	host(1)
