+In recent versions of udev, the gpsd script runs in series with the task that
+creates the real /dev/ttyUSB0 device node. Unfortuntely, the gpsd script runs
+BEFORE the creation of the node, and the node is not created until after you
+kill the gpsd script, because the gpsd script waits forever for the node to
+appear. 
+
+This is a race condition, and is best fixed by running the actual wait/hotplug
+portion in the background.
