[gpsd-users] gpsmon & cgps fail to parse IPv6 syntax correctly & gpsmon 3.17 just fails

[Tony Hain]

I would assume that all gpsd clients use the same parser, but these are the 
ones I tried that failed the RFC2732 format to distinguish address from port.

# gpsmon

As shown above 
gpsmon: 3.17~dev (revision release-3.16-585-g26e2f525) 
fails to open the port that cgps did connect to.
