I had to think on that one for a bit.  That's the older stuff
(non-GPSMan stuff) that snags things from a GPS.  I'm surprised that
RPM was smart enough to figure that out.

Another option would be to remove that script and the others like
it, as the GPSMan stuff does a better job of it anyway.  Perhaps
there are some that would still use the old scripts though.
