lircd exits if one connection fails due to failed ioctls on the device (/var/log/messages will have a message to this effect). I went thru this recently where lircd would start fine but would disappear after I invoked 'irw', which will return with 'connection refused'. The reason in my case was that the in-kernel driver (pvrusb2) didn't have the support for lirc for the chip 24xx. I downloaded the tar and built the driver myself, and it all started working.
so, check to see if your driver for the IR device is working properly and /dev/lirc/0 is getting created. See if you are using in-kernel version now whereas you used the self-built latest module earlier.
other possibility (in case you didn't upgrade kernel, change any modules, or upgrade lirc) could be udev upgrade messed up something and is no longer creating /dev/lirc/0.

Subject: [mythtv-users] lirc issues after vacation
So I went on vacation for 3 weeks and come home to find out my remote no
longer works on my mythtv box, so I start messing around seeing if I can
fix it to no avail, so I come for your assistance.
mythtv at spork:/$ irw
connect: Connection refused
[ 47.389668] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61
[ 47.396177] lirc_i2c: no version for "lirc_unregister_plugin" found:
kernel tainted.
mythtv at spork:/$ ps ax | grep lirc
22101 pts/0 R+ 0:00 grep lirc
As you can see it does not appear that lirc is even running. Now, if i
do an lsmod it lists lirc_i2c as running.
I have tried going through the install procedures for lirc again, but
may have missed a step on clearing the old one out or something because
it just keeps doing the exact same thing. What other information can I
provide that may help solve my problem?
