Hello Hans,

winsock PE conversion depends on this, so there's hope that it will be fixed
sometime soon :)

I've created follow-up bug 50323 which highlights the problem that these files
need to be managed in winsock API.

Bug 50323 ("Multiple applications need 'Ws2_32.getservbyname' to read
information from '%SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\Etc\services' (Autodesk 3ds Max
9 RaySat service)")

Bug 49656 ("SAP GUI - Ws2_32.getaddrinfo crashes with non-standard service
(/etc/services)") could also have a follow-up one since the conceptional
problem was not addressed there.

Alternatively we could convert one to a "meta" ticket, that is something like
"Ws2_32.* API needs to manage '%SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\Etc\services'".
It might be harder to get a closure on though if affected apps use different
sets of winsock API calls.

Regards
