Whois

Has anyone else noticed a problem with whois? Seems like any domain I
do a whois on returns 2 sets of records. 95% of the time it is the
correct information for the domain the last 5% though seems to be a
totaly unrelated record. Other than my domains here I have checked
netscape.com, aol.com,internic.net among others and all seem to return
bad info sporadicly. Here is an example of what I get 1 good record
followed by a bad one.
