Ahh, I think I see your point: the Wine+Linux variant uses /etc/services, while Windows uses a file of the same format, but in a different location (system\services for Win9x, typically system32\drivers\etc\services for WinNT+). Is that right?
Yes, although I do not remember for sure whether this services file under windows is actually used by these winsock calls.
In that case, I'm not sure what the correct behavior should be. On one hand, it doesn't match Windows' behavior 100% when using a real Windows install. On the other hand, it'll match native (Linux) programs' behavior on the same machine.
Purpose of wine is to run win applications that users want to run under Linux. We occasionally go beyond the way from 100% correctness to help make that happen.
Because a user (non-developer) can't take any action to correct this, I think the output is unnecessary. Point taken that at least a TRACE may be useful, though, since it's of use to developers.
I don't follow here. There are plenty of users around that would be able to read, understand and act on this message.
