Hi, thats not a bug in gpsd - udev will assign a new tty number to your device if the old one is occupied, for example by removing a device in a not-so-nice way. You could write an udev rule specifically for you device to ensure it is symlinked to /dev/gps for example, which ensures that your device name doesn't change. Unfortunately thats nothing I can fix in gpsd. Enabling usb auto detection might help you, too - it should register the device automatically, not depending on the name. You don't even need to specify a fixed device in the configuration for that, only a socket gpsd listens on.
