Looks like a bug in saa7134-input.c, which doesn't originate in lirc land,
its from the kernel itself. The more apropos location to tackle this issue
is lin...@vg....

Note: I *just* got saa7134 hardware myself, and am waiting on the arrival
of an IR receiver cable for it, at which time I'll be looking at this
driver's RX behavior and the code in question.
