getent services enumeration glitch

[Mark Geisert <mark@maxrnd.com>]

There is a glitch when getent enumerates all services; it shows an incorrect
port number.  Providing a service name on invocation shows the correct port
number.  Examples:

$ getent services man
man                   9535/tcp

$ getent services | grep man
man                   16165/tcp

It looks like when all services are enumerated there is an extra or missing
byte swap call to htons() or ntohs().  This can be observed by comparing the
hex values of the two port numbers shown above, giving 0x253F and 0x3F25.
