I think gpsd tries occasionally to (re)open a filename from the command line 
if it doesn't work initially or dies after it gets started.  The printout in 
that path will clutter your syslog.  Example below.

I thought a broken TCP connection would give EOF rather than EBADF.  Maybe 
the code trying to handle the TCP case is broken?

Unplugging a USB device may be a handy test case.
