I think that would be this problem:

 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=1958570&forum_id=12066

wouldn't it?

If so, you're the first user of gpsutil to step forth.  Are you _really_
interoperating gpsutil (there are other problems; we don't handle
comment characters, commas i the comments fields, or blank comments
correctly) that we should whack at the same time.

Plus we have some test suite wreckage to deal with, but that's largely
mechanical.

If you don't beat me to a more comprehensive fix, I'll tackle this early
in the week.  If you're looking for something quick & dirty, try this on
for size...

These were fixed on Dec 21.   Where did you find a copy that still
has this?

Oh, this is absolutely the right place.   Thanx.
