Even if there were zero satellites the GPS receiver should report zero, not
just stop and die.

Are you certain that both PPS and NMEA data both stop?  If just one of
them, then I'd suspect a bad connection, a loose cable or something.   If
both then I'd suspect the receiver or its power supply or the rs422 to
rs232 converter or its power supply.  Power is the easiest thing to check.
