Port 5000 and Windows XP

I had reason to look at a Windows XP box and discovered port 5000 open on 
it.  Subsequent research has shown that this is normal (albeit stupid).  
However, when I connect to port 5000, I get an "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad 
Request".  Also, fport /ap shows port 5000 open, but will not associate an 
application with it.  Am I overly paranoid or has this box been 
compromised?

Thanks
