Once again, try the -B.  I'm worried that the problem may be in the
socat buffering.  That may be why I can not duplicate.

The other difference is you are running 32-bit.

I note you are on Ovtober 17, code.  I don't think you are missing
anything relevant, except for the -B code.

Looks the same as the last one you sent.  For some reason your pselect()
does not return a conenction error like mine does.

I don't see what gpsd could do differently when there is no data
coming in the tcp.  Except maybe kill the connection and retry after
a few mnuutes of timeouts.

What libc, gcc are you using.

$ gcc --version
gcc (Gentoo 12.2.1_p20221008 p1) 12.2.1 20221008

I'm on glibc 2.35.

Bother 64 bit.
