How many people are testing the latest code with live GPS devices?


I have a setup that is broken.  It's 2 devices feeding gpsd and ntpd watching 
them.  Of course, I just updated ntpd too, and I hadn't updated gpsd for a 
long time so I don't have any ideas when it broke.

Symptoms from ntpd's side:
...
 SHM(0)          .SHM.            0 l  50m   64    0    0.000 -599.273   0.000
 SHM(1)          .SHM.            0 l  49m   64    0    0.000   -0.051   0.000
 GPSD_JSON(0)    .GPSD.           0 l    -   64    0    0.000    0.000   0.000

 SHM(3)          .SHM.            0 l    -   64    0    0.000    0.000   0.000

It worked well enough to get a few samples through, then stopped responding.

gpsmon shows a blank screen, eventually saying:
Read error from device


Time for sleep.  I'll investigate in the morning.
