[Qgis-user] GPS Tools strange behavior

As Micha copied in, i confirm similar behaviour for a Magellan 330M serial
machine connected via a USB adapter. It works reliably from the gpstools in
qgis only by avoiding the %in and %out operators thus:

%babel -w -i magellan,baud=115200 -o gpx -f /dev/ttyUSB0 -F
/home/ken/Downloads/waypoints.gpx

It works every time but the Layer name must be entered before the Save As
Output file name; doing the reverse hangs qgis. The save as file must be the
same as the file specified i.e. /home/ken/Downloads/waypoints.gpx.

It also works fine for tracks, changing w for t of course.

Clumsy but it works. Ubuntu 12.04 64bit
