EQ Mod driver respawns after connect

Hi,
I have EKOS and a "remote" indiserver running on a Pi3. When I connect to the EQ Mod driver from EKOS, the driver stops and is respawned. After this, the behaviour seems a bit erratic...
What could be causing this?

Ubuntu Mate 16.04, just installed yesterday + all upgrades.
indi-full newly installed this morning

What's with the double slash in the path in /usr/share/indi//* ?

You can ignore that. The crash is due to a PPA build issue I guess. Try tomorrow or build it yourself. I just compiled it and used it fine with my mount.

So here is the error dump with the latest (30 min ago) installed PPA software.
The driver crashes twice, on different places in the exchange of info.

Run this in the terminal:
gdb --eval-command="set follow-fork-mode child" --args indiserver -v indi_eqmod_telescope indi_simulator_ccd

After that, type run and indiserver will start. You can replace indi_simulator_ccd with any other CCD driver you can use, and you can also add other drivers there, just make sure indi_eqmod_telescope is the first driver. Then from Ekos, edit profile and set it to remote, set the host to localhost, then try connecting again. If it crashes, type in bt and post the results.

I have just compiled indi-eqmod from sources and it's working, it does not respawn as before on my PI3.
Indiserver is still giving the same messages with double slashes "//", is this normal?

EQ Mod is completely broken for me this week. Even in a fresh install from PPA on lubuntu my os of choice, it crashes while preforming even a basic function such as saving the configuration or connecting to the mount. It just reports indi_EQMOD has crashed, kstars itself didn't crash from this. I'm at a loss. Again not problematic 7 days ago. Please review /rollback changes.

You can ignore the "//" they don't affect anything. This is definitely a PPA build issue (again), so I will try to re-force a build soon and hopefully it is resolved. It is nothing in the code itself.

I was thinking that it could be a timing issue, considering new Pi3 platform and the seemingly random places where the driver stops...

I built indi-eqmod driver myself and made certain it replaced existing version from PPA. I have still the same issues, and switched to Ubuntu +Mate. I feel it's something to the changes geehalel committed ' Merge remote-tracking branch 'upstream/master' ' last week.
I'm trying to work out If I can compile an older version now.
Edit: Still had issues trying to compile from historic versions on GIT. I compiled just EQmod from the stable Indi v1.3.1 source and I am at least up and running again.
