This behaviour is symptomatic of rc driver which does not generate
ir timeouts. If an rc driver does not do this, then it won't be just the
nec protocol which is not parsed correctly. For example, rc-6 in mode 6a
can have 16, 24 or 32 bits and we rely on the ir timeout to demarcate the
end of the IR message -- else we are stuck with the behaviour as you
describe above.

This isn't the right solution, so NAK I'm afraid.
Please let us know what rc driver you are using, I'm happy to help fix it.
