<p>This sounds very familiar, I had the same issue and it turned out to be a recent kernel bug with lirc/usb (listed here <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/642517" target="_blank"><font color="#333399">https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/642517</font></a>).</p>
<p>Does this look like your problem?</p>
<p>Can you regress back to an earlier kernel?</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
