Re: lirc upgrade 0.9.0->0.9.4: irsend works very unreliably - but only for some remotes

Bengt,

I give run for IrScrutinizer.
System where I have IR dongle connected is appliance with minimal size PXE booted OS - so running IrScrutinizer is impossible (no Java, etc).
Therefore I launched lircd on this system in TCP listening mode and run IrScrutinizer on remote machine (MacBook).
lidcd was launched with following cmd line:

/usr/sbin/lircd —device=/dev/lirc0 --driver=default --output=/var/run/lirc/lircd-lirc0 --pidfile=/var/run/lircd-lirc0.pid --listen=8765

On IrScrutinizer I select SendingHW/Lirc, provided IP/port.
Reload gives me list of my remotes - so I can select my „sharp_46x20e”.
I select „power_tv” command and press „Send”.
I do test on 2 different platforms: (Intel AtomD525 and IntelNUC i5) 

Results:

IntelNUC i5:
0.9.0 - OK
0.9.4 - OK

Atom D525
0.9.0 - OK
0.9.4 - NOK

This is interesting as 0.9.4 works OK in i5 - but not on D525.

Well - I’m out of ideas why this….
