[gpsd-users] GPSD 3.10 regression (from 3.9)

[Ed W]

Hi, I upgraded to gpsd 3.10.  I observe that "frequently", when 
unplugging and replugging my GPS (cp21x based venus thing from Bluenext 
, detected as vanilla NMEA, 9600), frequently the gpsd daemon will 
terminate (previously it would keep running and wait for something to be 
connected again).

At this stage I have no further log files or hints, no obvious terminal 
error messages are logged in the syslog on default (non debug) log 
levels.  Usually there is an active client listening with a WATCH, but 
I'm not sure if this is relevant. The log files note an error reading 
from the relevant /dev/ttyUSBx since the udev rule to remove the device 
kicks in some seconds after the device has actually been unplugged

In case it's relevant i start gpsd with the following command line: 
/usr/sbin/gpsd -n -G -F /var/run/gpsd.sock -P /var/run/gpsd.pid


Obviously I don't expect anyone to escalate this as a specific bug, but 
it seems easy to test that this isn't a current problem in the release 
candidates for 3.11, hence why I'm mentioning it. I need to leave the 
office pretty much after pressing Send here, so limited time to debug 
the specifics...

Thanks for listening
