Bug Description

Binary package hint: gpsdrive

Trying to start gpsdrive after kismet is started. gpsdrive hangs after starting, printing the following:

sebastian@gucky:~$ gpsdrive

SQL: connected to localhost as gast using geoinfo

kismet server found
select() call: Bad file descriptor
select() call: Bad file descriptor
select() call: Bad file descriptor
select() call: Bad file descriptor
select() call: Bad file descriptor

stracing the running process shows:

write(2, "select() call: Bad file descript"..., 35) = 35

One strange thing: when I start gpsdrive with strace ($ strace gpsdrive) it works fine, even with kismet running!
