   Yes. Debian with dist-upgrade ~2 days ago (rebuilt zhone and such). Both
TangoGPS and 'fsoraw -r GPS -- omgps' working. Slightly modified
andy-tracking kernel (2.6.29-rc3).

   I think it is perfectly normal to get a few 'rxerr: port=1' messages when
the GPS is turned off (although even after ~7 minutes?). But I'm worried
about those 'page allocation failure' messages.
