 I have a similar problem with ntpd talking to an Oncore GPS. It will run 
 for a few hours or a few days, but then the serial port will freeze up. 
 Only a reboot will reset things. This hardware combination worked fine 
 for years running 6.x, it was only after I upgraded to 8.1 that I had 
 this problem.
 
 I have just built a kernel without the uart driver in the hopes that 
 unloading and loading the module will allow me to reset things without 
 rebooting.
