That's becuase there are two "handles" under maxim-ic.com. The whois
server wants to know which one you are refereing too. MAXIM-IC-HST, or
MAXIM-IC-DOM. To single out one of the records use whois like this:

        whois !maxim-ic-dom
OR
        whois !maxim-ic-hst

And it'll give you the correct information about each one.
