whois timeout

[e3rd]

Check better if there is not a possibility to timeout a popen. Or check if multithreading can be reimplemented now.

Problem:
whois -h whois.arin.net 199.175.52.138
This query ends with string: Found a referral to rwhois.vpscheap.net:4321., then it waits for 10-20 secods and Finishes with: "Timeout." I dont want to wait 20 secs in my script.

Didn't happen for a long time. Not a priority. Won't fix.
