They are both SiRF, but one is read-only and running in NMEA mode.  (It goes 
through a splitter.  The other side has the write wire.)

It has worked post 3.11.  Bisecting will be a slight pain.  The test for good 
involves wait-long-enough.  Fortunately, it doesn't normally take very long.

Another possibly interesting change is that the NEMA device used to be 
running with only GPRMC.  It's now sending everything.  (I used gpsmon to get 
the firmware version info, then switched back to NMEA.)

It feels like a locking tangle.  Do you remember any changes that involved 
locks?

I think I'll give gdb a quick try first.  Why bisect if I can find a smoking 
gun?
