Having 'echo' first breaks the test on FreeBSD, at the assertion in line 302 of test_socket, because FreeBSD's services file includes records for protocol "ddp" (AppleTalk over TCP/IP??), including an "echo" on port 4 rather than the expected port 7 for the "tcp" & "udp" protocols.

Would having the list as 'daytime', 'echo', 'domain' cause any other problems?
