Excellent!  I committed the change to CVS.  I made a note in the commit
message that maybe we should make the buffer size configurable.  However,
I would expect whois and finger queries to always be smaller than 1024
bytes.  Technically, DataOutputStream may not be the right thing to use
because it strips the high 8 bits, but a user can always encode the query
to US-ASCII the query before calling a Finger/WhoisClient method, so I
think we can stick with it for now.

Thanks a lot for reporting the problem and going to the effort of figuring
out what would work instead of just giving up on the code.
