 glibc-2.1.2

  if (service && service[0])
    {
      char *c;
      gaih_service.name = service;
      gaih_service.num = strtoul (gaih_service.name, &c, 10);
      if (*c)
        gaih_service.num = -1;
      else
        /* Can't specify a numerical socket unless a protocol family was
           given. */
        if (hints->ai_socktype == 0)
          return EAI_SERVICE;
      pservice = &gaih_service;
    }
