That looks like either the UPS or upsd getting confused as to where to
expect responses.  Check your config and make sure you aren't adding extra
spaces.

I woudn't discount that the APC is doing wierd serial things -- it always
seemed flakey to me when I was working on upsd.

upsd hasn't been touched in years so it's possible it still has bugs :)
