So I just took a look through the commit history. The pinnacle
transceiver didn't work very well until 0.8.7-pre2. I committed the
code that made it behave *after* the 0.8.7-pre1 snapshot. I'd highly
suggest updating to the lirc 0.8.7 release code. Yell at your distro's
lirc maintainer if need be, they're way behind on things.
