[mythtv] remote broke/lirc_init error message

[Michael Wisniewski]

Hi!

A rather strange problem.  I upgraded tonight to the latest svn
version.  I've had this problem before, but now the remote is somehat
working.  When I start mythfrontend, the remote doesn't work and this
is in the mythtv frontend.log file.

However, if I exit the frontend and go back into it, it works fine.
All I do is exit and go back into the frontend and it works.  Here's
the snip of the log file of the working one....

Does anybody happen to have any ideas?  I don't think it's a
permission problem on /dev/lirc because my permissions aren't changing
the second time around.  Just think it's odd....
