And my gps18 seems to have got very confused - it was tracking
satellites but was not generating solutions. 5 other receivers
(thunderbolt, sirfstar2, itrax03, antaris, antaris4t) in the same area
were working OK. After resetting the gps18, it was tracking the same
satellites and all was shiny and happy again.

GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?
