Describe the bug
In this file https://github.com/nmap/nmap/blob/master/nmap-services I see this line:

pumpkindb 9981/tcp 0.000000 # Event sourcing database engine with a built-in programming language

This is very unfortunate and hopefully unintended by the pumpkindb community, as the port number is used for much longer (well over 10 years) by tvheadend .
Tvheadend is: "Tvheadend is the leading TV streaming server and recorder for Linux "
https://tvheadend.org/

In fact, tvheadend is using these 2 ports:
9981 9982

This inappropriate association of a port results in significant confusion of users like myself.

To Reproduce
running: nmap server -p1-65000

Expected behavior
It should list the 2 ports given as primarily owned by tvheadend
