Okay, apparently on the receiver side the problem is specific to the pinsys
driver.  I deleted the definition of PINSYS_THREEBYTE in hw_pinsys.c on line
47, which in turn caused the definition of BITS_COUNT to be 24 and not 8.  In
version 0.8.0, some uses of actual BITS_COUNT were hardcoded to 8 and
PINSYS_THREEBYTE wasn't defined by default.
