GSPD information stream timing out after 30 seconds

I am using a GPSD to feed GPS information to a virtual serial port. I'm generating the virtual serial port with socat, and I am listening to the virtual port using: sudo cat /dev/pts/2, where /dev/pts/2 is the drive created by socat. The GPS signal is being obtained in a C++ script . The C++ script is giving me the expected output every 1 second, but the information stream simply stops after 30 seconds.

What options can I consider in either the socat arguments or the GPSDO arguments in my C++ script, to lengthen the time past 30 seconds?

Socat in default setup has no timeout as long as both connections stay open. Apply options -d -d -d -d -lu to Socat to see in its output what happens!
