gnokii getsms fails and requires phone restart

[Vieri]

Hi,

I don't have a "real phone" but an SMS GSM "trac" with 1 SIM card.

gnokii --getsms has been working fine for a week but today it started failing. 
However, --sendsms kept working just fine.

I noticed that --getsms would repeatedly fail with:
TP-Parameter-Indicator: 0xcb

I tried changing serial port, baud rates, etc, but it didn't make any 
difference.

I had to physically reboot the GSM device (--reset hard|soft does not work) and 
all started working properly again and received TP-Parameter-Indicator: 0x00.

Here's the debug BEFORE rebooting the device:

# gnokii --phone usb0 --getsms SM 1

SMS-STATUS-REPORT found
TP-Parameter-Indicator: 0xcb
Phone gave as poisonous (too short?) reply, either phone went crazy or 
communication went out of sync
GetSMS SM 1 failed! (Problem occurred internal to model specific code.)
Serial device: closing device

Any ideas as to how to fix this without physically rebooting the device?

Thanks for your help,

Vieri
