Hi,
I get a strange error message when starting xtraceroute 0.9.2

Strange version of the "host" program found!
I can't use this, see the man page for details.

In /usr/local/share/xtraceroute/xtraceroute-resolve-location.sh in line 72 I
found
RESPONSE=`$HOST -t LOC -x $STRING 2>&1`
where $HOST is the path to the host(1) program
When I look in the man page for host(1) there are options
host [-46aCdilrsTVvw] [-c class] [-m flag] [-N ndots] [-R number]
[-t type] [-W wait] name [server]
But no -x option.
Is there a workaround or bugfix?
Regards,
Stefan
