Re: Unexpected logging from gpsd

[Mick Durkin]

Hi Greg,

What confused me is that I have been running gpsd for many years, updating to 
the latest sources every once in a while, but never had these logs before.

These logs only started when I updated in the last few days and this made me 
wonder had something been changed in gpsd.

I will dig into the logging on my system but, as I've never had this problem 
before, the logging is an area I need to research.
