If the line "sqlexec 1525/tcp" is the last line of this file, and not followed by a "return", Microsoft's TCP/IP (I don't know if others have the same problem) cannot read the entry correctly, leading to the above error. If this is the case on your system, just enter a "return" after the last line in the services file, so the EOF marker sits in a line by itself. That should solve your problem.
