Self-referential whois queries

I'm noticing an increase in getting query rate exceeded at whois services that might be connected to a symptom described by ARIN at NANOG 48/ARIN XXV and ARIN XXVI where machines ask for the whois record of their own IP address. Are there any clues of what is causing this ? Rubens
