It looks like the connection between driver and upsd is continuously
dropping. This could be a driver problem or an upsd problem. Since the
driver is not reporting anything out of the ordinary, I suggest to
checkout the latest version from SVN. There were a couple of problems
with the staleness checks in upsd which were fixed in the trunk.
