Problems with lircd

[Travis J. <tra...@gm...>]

Hi, all,

I'm trying to get a mythtv instance running on Fedora Core 6.  I am
using the rpm packages from ATrpms (lots more detail included below).

The short of the problem is that I start lircd, it seems to start OK,
then I run irw and lircd crashes.  Details are all included below.  If
there is other information I need to provide, I would be happy to do
so.  Any help you can provide is much appreciated.

Thanks.
