  * SECURITY UPDATE: "arbitrary file access and buffer overflows"
    A new config file, /etc/gypsy.conf, is added that specifies a whitelist
    of globs. By default, they are "/dev/tty*", "/dev/pgps", and "bluetooth"
    (which matches Bluetooth addresses).

  * SECURITY UPDATE: Prevent buffer overflows in NMEA parsing by using
