Since this is the only GPS hardware I have here at the moment, I can not know 
if it only affects my hardware.
I had gdb'd the issue down and it was obvious enough. I then found that it has 
been already been fixed in upstream gpsd gitlab -master.

I only assume that this is triggered only under certain, possibly rare,
circumstances, otherwise upstream would probably have cut a new release
with this fix, or at least Boian Bonev, who commited the fix and who
seems to be maintaining the Debian package would have updated the Debian
package, but this does not seem to be the case.

As to reproducing the issue, without a gps, I have tried running gpsmon
with the GPS receiver turned off, but then gpsmon just waits. It will
crash as soon as I turn the unit on again and data is flowing.

I'll gladly help in any way I can. For starters, I have a different GPS
model on order, and will report when it arrives and how it behaves
there.
