#358 lirc dosen't get repeat code

[Demitrius Belai]

Hi Guys. I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 with lirc 0.10.1-6.1 and I'm using serial receiver. If I hold a button the lirc dosen't get the repeat code. The Lirc output with error:

I fix it just by changing MIN_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT to 125000. I got this timeout number from mode2 output, I don't know why mode2 has a different timeout from lirc.

The mode2 output for this repeat code:

pulse 650   -> ptrail
space 39833 -> gap
pulse 9091  -> prepeat
space 2160  -> srepeat
pulse 654   -> ptrail
space 96057 -> gap
pulse 9087  -> prepeat
space 2162  -> srepeat
pulse 651   -> ptrail
space 96058 -> gap
pulse 9091  -> prepeat
space 2160  -> srepeat
pulse 654   -> ptrail
timeout 125000

The repeat code gap is 96057. That is lower than 100000. I don't know why I got timeout from lirc.
