Fix lircd please. Don't workaround lirc bugs by screwing up the driver.

Well you are of course correct that this is probably lircd's fault,
however two points: 1- I do not intend to distribute any changes that I
make to anyone else - it's for personal use only, 2 - I have absolutely
no idea how to go about changing lircd; I'm not an experienced unix C
programmer, nor do I have the time to become one in the foreseeable
future. So even though the Right Way would be to fix lircd and publish
the non-broken version, the Easy Way is to change, add or remove a few
lines in the driver code and work around the problem - the Mohammed and
mountain syndrome really. I do not even need to make the fix future
proof really.. once I get everything working I'll freeze my TV box and
not change anything unless I absolutely have to.
Cheers,
Ole Andre
