Re: irw/lircd stops working after 3-6 key presses

[Mike K. <mik...@vx...>]

Tested on yet another box...an older Toshiba P25-S609 laptop which I had
working perfect with lirc a year or more ago.

Same problem (with mceusb2 and iguanaIR)...lirc works for a few
keypresses and then hangs...only waking back up 10sec later for a press
or two and then hanging again.

So I've tested ubuntu-current lirc in addition to building latest from
source...
Against 2 different IR dongles (mceusb and iguanaIR)
On 4 different machines (piii-500, tabletpc, P25-s609 and Quadcore server)
All running ubuntu 8.10.

Throw me a bone guys please...what can I do to troubleshoot further? As
I state below...dmesg and logs are clean and running lirc in foreground
shows nada.
