I think a fix is pushed.

Yeah, I made it wider, but not wide enough for bad cases.  Also not
sure why PPS is in the packet 7 box?  Clearly it is not in a packet.

Plus still the garbage on the right.

Pull git head and check it out.  I think the PPS in gpsmon now 
looking almost good.  Still need to fix that ntpshm_latch() is
called more than once a second in gpsmon hardware mode.  Probably
put a mutext on last_fixtime, just in case.

Then test the garmin PPS and we may be good.

When this ships it looks like the ntpd folks know what they want for
the new serial time stamp JSON message.  As their GPSD_JSON driver
stands without it their time is pretty sloppy, as in hundreds
of milliSec jitter, etc..
