Hi Mark:

No solutions, but a plea:

It would be really, really nice for someone to design / build an open 
source PIC-based LIRC decoder.  This would get around what you're 
seeing, and also provide WOR (wake-on-remote) functionality....

Any PIC programmers out there?  I'm up to my eyeballs in embedded stuff 
and can't take this on.

I'm cc'ing the LIRC list so that maybe some kind soul there will do this....
