I've always assumed this could happen but as a result of RF signal loss not
a glitch in the gps. So I've started recording event timestamp deltas
using the Linux kernel PPS interface. I read assert events (e.g.
1398449188.001000242#1741672) and compute timestamp and event deltas. If
the t delta is < .9 something horrible must have happened and if it's > 1
some didn't happen assuming the event count delta is always 1.
I wonder if this is a reasonable approach or if I'm being lazily
optimistic. I just started (and I haven't added a join with the valid fix
indicator yet) but I've had two missing pulses in the last 24 hours.
