Well, I'll be.  You sure do.

Why don't you exit it with a control-D or "exit", like everyone else?
;-)  [See the output of "help" or "?", or see 'man nslookup'.]

Nothing to worry about - it is an internal bug in this version of
'nslookup'.  'Flex' is an enhanced clone of 'lex', the lexical
analyzer.  It is used to build 'nslookup'.  It apparently isn't
cleaning up properly on being killed.  Then again, the next instant, it
is dead, so you needn't worry about it.
