[mythtv] lirc_client.c sending empty CODE cmd to LIRC -> segfault

[David Kubicek]

Hello,

I was just playing with the optional lircrcd LIRC daemon and it kept 
segfaulting on me. I found the bug in the daemon (latest CVS version), 
but the reason for this is MythTV sending an empty CODE command. Until 
the bug is fixed in either of these two applications, it'll break 
advanced LIRC configurations...

I haven't looked into MythTV, so I have no patch for you, but I'll be 
sending a patch to LIRC people. If you actually want the patch and it 
would be integrated soon (e.i. not in 6 months:)) Well, the command 
packet is actually from lircd, but it really originates in MythTV.

LOG:

lircrcd[3673]: received command: "CODE 01007f0000000000 1e Down 
imon_ultrabay_pad"

Segfault in lircrcd (not relevant for you):
