If it's in SiRF binary mode when I start it, the Firmware slot never gets
filled in. It does get filled in when I start in NMEA mode and poke "i" to
switch to SiRF.
Mumble. This mail system doesn't support fancy ascii graphics so cut/paste
gives garbage on my mail window. Maybe it will make sense on yours. On my
gpsmon window, the Firmware Version slot is blank.

I'm looking for whatever it takes to debug timekeeping issues. Just knowing
that a PPS happened is only half the battle. The PPS offset as displayed on
screen above would be fine.

Standard glitch chasing sort of thing. If I'm the only one interested in
timing from log fiiles, you should probably ignore me.
I think I have a python hack that does what I want. It only works with
NMEA/text/lines. I'll find it, clean it up, and make it available if anybody
wants it.
