I assume you also used the "-p" flag to ldattach, right?

I tried the following:

        gpsd -n `ldattach -p -s 19200 -t dcd nmea /dev/tty00`

(my GPS is on /dev/tty00)

-- but about one second after ldattach did its setup, it died with the
following error in the logs:

        eof during read from device: Undefined error: 0

and cgps never shows any data from the GPS.
