Bug Description
Binary package hint: mythtv
Sometimes when I start `mythfrontend`, it does not respond to events from LIRC. Keyboard input works just fine. I can see LIRC working from the output of `irw` and my "application starter" script, which is run by `irexec`. If I kill the front-end and start it again, the remote usually works.
I have a iMON-PAD (15c2:0036), which now works out of the box with 9.10 :-)
Note: mythfrontend.real has multiple <defunct> children, and MythTV sometimes crashes or exits TV mode, especially when programs start and end.

The problem persists with mythtv-trunk from SVN.
Note that using `irxevent` works. So if I have the following in my .lircrc:
begin
remote = iMON-PAD
prog = irxevent
button = Ch+
repeat = 0
config = Key Up CurrentWindow
end
begin
remote = iMON-PAD
prog = mythtv
button = Ch-
config = Down
repeat = 0
delay = 0
end
Then channel up works, while channel down many times does not.
It seems like if I get lucky and everything works, they keep on working if I restart mythtv quickly over and over.
BTW: I get the following in my /var/log/ mythtv/ mythfrontend. log before LIRC works:
2009-04-01 08:21:53.569 lirc init success using configuration file: /home/nins/ .mythtv/ lircrc
Is there some easy way I can debug this problem?
