 Using lirc with a serial transceiver.  Myth is compiled with lirc native
 support.

 When watching either a recording or live tv and myth tries to change the
 channel using the external script (using irsend), the frontend hangs for
 about 10 minutes or so.  The problem is reproducible just manually running
 irsend while watching.  I've tested with the latest svn and had the same
 problem.  I'm using lirc 0.81 on a gentoo 64bit.

 I previously was using a serial cable to change channels without a
 problem, but comcast just screwed up my box with an update and now the
 serial port on the cable box is disabled. So now, I'm stuck with IR unless
 I can get their engineer to turn the port back on for me.

 I've done a debug build and created a backtrace when it's hung.
