Hey people, I hope you can help me this time. I had lirc working for a long
time some years back, I don't know how or why but it just stopped working,
and I didn't pay much attention at the time.

My specs are very similar to this guy:

I tried to review system recently, even recording the whole remote again,
for all things it seems like it should. But here is the odd part, when
testing with irw, I get one, and only one received signal, having to
restart the lirc daemon, to receive only one more again. Anyone ever
experienced anything like this? Is it possible its some signal code error
and the daemon doesn't know the "press" has ended?
