Some getaddrinfo implementations do not detect invalid numeric services and blindly pass the port number to htons(). For example, service "960179" is returned as port 42675.

glibc

AIX 7.1 libc
Broken

Modules/getaddrinfo
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Modules/getaddrinfo.c#L342


On the other hand, for example, OpenBSD and musl check the port range
https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/lib/libc/asr/getaddrinfo_async.c#L477
https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/network/lookup_serv.c#n53


Modules/getaddrinfo should be fixed.

The configure script should detect whether the system getaddrinfo is broken. If so, a wrapper that checks numeric services, and returns EAI_SERVICE or calls the system getaddrinfo should be used in place of the system getaddrinfo.
