David, i see your point - as i mentioned i have no any knowledge of IR
receiver part you're discussing and/or its Linux drivers and don't
want just to spam, but my simple thinking is that if the Logitech
Harmony universal remote control is with wrongly configured firmware
it can emit something that is so messed up that makes the IR receiver
part behaves in completely unpredictable way. anyway, at least Anton
have some ideas to try...
