Comment 7 for bug 1879272

@Christian, thanks for taking care of this issue.

Well, if you rely on the output of the control socket of gpsd then you get corrupt json payload if a gps device is added to gpsd. We rely on this output and our application fails if it can't parse the json payload which results in a non working application on our side.

The issue is a regression in gpsd, it was working fine in 3.19 and before.
