UBX-AID-EPH and UBX-AID-ALM Messages for Satellite without valid Orbits
When polling UBX-AID-EPH or UBX-AID-ALM messages, satellites without valid
ephemeris or almanac data will 
return a complete UBX-AID-EPH or UBX-AID-ALM message with all data words set
to zero. This doesn’t comply 
with the protocol specification. Furthermore, u-blox 5 receivers with
firmware V5.00 and earlier can run into a 
floating-point exception when fed with such “empty” ephemeris.

Is that the cause :D
