--- Comment #7 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello Hans,
--- quote --- winsock PE conversion depends on this, so there's hope that it will be fixed sometime soon :) --- quote ---
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
