>  My suggestion would be to try and isolate Xastir from the serial port.  Get something like a serial port replicator software package that can create virtual ports and connect them to real ports (I know there's GPSGate for windows but I don't know if there's one for OS X).  Then just have one virtual port connected to the one real port.  Have Xastir connect to the virtual port which will always exist.  If the real serial port vanishes, the replicator software should be able to survive.

gpsd. I am pro-gpsd but it occasionally has had issues. If you find
one, report it.
