I have a bluetooth gps (Holux GPSlim236) with a usbserial cable option.
On the cable, it works reliably with gpsdrive via gpsd.

On bluetooth, it causes gpsd to segfault after a random period between 
minutes and an hour. Seems related to a partial sentence received.

The same gps on bluetooth seems to work ok with palm/tomtom, so I guess 
its a gpsd issue.
