[Nut-upsuser] "no longer stale" when disconnected with 2.0.5 newhidups

[Markus Kress]

Hello,

I'm using driver newhidups with APC Back-UPS CS 500. Most things works fine
except the following:

After I disconnect the UPS the upsd write "Data for UPS [apc] is stale -
check driver" in /var/log/messages. In the same second it tells "UPS [apc]
data is no longer stale". This repeats all the time the ups is
disconnected:

After reconnect the ups, the communication is ok and nut works until I
disconnect again.
I tired also different values for pollinterval.

We want to shutdown the server, if the ups is disconnected from the server
(e.g. if the ups is defect).

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
