          Whether to enable the broken-device-safety, otherwise
          known as read-only mode.  Some popular bluetooth and USB
          receivers lock up or become totally inaccessible when
          probed or reconfigured.  This switch prevents gpsd from
          writing to a receiver.  This means that gpsd cannot
          configure the receiver for optimal performance, but it
          also means that gpsd cannot break the receiver.  A better
          solution would be for Bluetooth to not be so fragile.  A
          platform independent method to identify
          serial-over-Bluetooth devices would also be nice.
