[Bug libc/1014] New: RPC_ANYSOCK does not respect /etc/services

["jss at ast dot cam dot ac dot uk" <sourceware-bugzilla at sources dot redhat dot com>]

ypserv uses the svcudp_create() function with a RPC_ANYSOCK argument. The
RPC_ANYSOCK argument does not appear to respect the content of the /etc/services
file. This means that it takes ports which belong to other services before they
are started (e.g. imaps).

Would it be at all sensible to only take ports which are not listed in
/etc/services, or at least choose from a range of ports which are not currently
allocated in /etc/services.

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this.
