Problem with getservbyname (Ultrix-32 V3.0 (Rev 64) )

	I've encountered what appears to be a bug with the getservbyname
C library call under Ultrix 3.0. Any help would be appreciated.

	When I attempt to get the port address of a service using getservbyname
the port number that is returned is the actual port number times 256 (or 
shifted 8?) mod 65535.  I can use this number in the getservbyport and it
returns the same port.  The true port value returns a null.  

	Is this a documented bug? If so, is there a fix for it?  If not, any
ideas on what I might be doing wrong?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

					Thanks,
					Mark Parris
