Rex,

I am having a new problem and I am wondering if it is anything you have seen. If I enter EmpGPS before I have clean $GPRMC messages and I have other applications running (Telnetd and the Player, for example) the display will lock up and the buttons and knob are no longer read. If I run EmpGPS by itself then it will tolerate this condition without any lock ups.

If I wait until I have a GPS solution and the corresponding $GPRMC messages then all is well, until I go under an obstruction or lose coverage for some reason. I don't remember seeing this earlier. I have updated preinit and do now try to run Telnetd so it may be related to one of those. Telnet is really nice to have when the serial port is recommitted to the GPS.

I have also seen many of the things that have been mentioned above but will not repeat them here. I do think that there is some risk to the problem that seems to clobber the flash because of the large number of write cycles.

Any clues?
