IRSEND locks up device. was...Re: [mythtv-users] Proper blaster config in this file?

Making some progress......

mceusb device with transmitter.

irw works fine to see remote, but when I try: "irsend SEND_ONCE blaster 
KEY_OK"

It locks up lirc and irw stops working.  This is restored with a lircd 
restart.

Something must be wrong in my config.  I am on Fedora 25 with lirc 0.9.4c.

Here are the two configs.  Ideas on what is wrong?
