Comment:

 The software fix for this problem on the GTA01 has been committed some
 time ago, and should be present in all current distro's GTA01 kernels.
 The fix is a port of the GTA02 solution, with the same behavior(notably,
 that the SD clock is slowed down significantly whenever the GPS is powered
 up, and the SD clock is stopped entirely except during actual reading or
 writing of SD card data).  Significant improvements in time-to-first-fix
 are evident, including the ability to obtain fixes in locations where this
 was previously not possible.

 Marking this ticket as "fixed" -- re-open this if the problem persists
 (after verifying that the GTA01 patch is present in the kernel, of
 course).
