There is a bug in the script /etc/init.d/gpsd: When it wants to stop the
gpsd daemon it uses:

	killall gpsd

which kills the daemon and the script itself:

# /etc/init.d/gpsd stop
Shutting down gpsd: Terminated

I have renamed this script to /etc/init.d/gpsd.sh and now it works fine
and as well powers down the card writing 0 into the device file;
