RE: NSLOOKUP.EXE

Tested on Windows 2000 Pro, SP3 and all updates.

I haven't tested it on XP yet.

I get an Input too long error if run through cmd.exe, eg. c:\>nslookup.exe AAAAA[..], but if I run nslookup with no args, then request AAA[..]AAA it gives the 0x41414141 memory error.

If I give nslookup a much larger amount of A's, the response is:

(null) dns.server.net

then crashes.
