[mythtv-users] Lirc key repeats on Harmony 525

I've checked the config against my numeric buttons and they all have
repeat parameters like this:

begin
prog = mythtv
button = 0
repeat = 4
config = 0
end

begin
prog = mythtv
button = 1
repeat = 4
config = 1
end

etc...

I've tried chaning the repeat setting to values such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 9,
50 but no matter what setting I enter I _always_ get 2 *s for each
number press in the PIN field. In between each change to ~/.lircrc I
restarted mythfrontend, but no matter what I do I can't get this to
work. Could it be something in the /etc/lircd.conf file below? What
does that "min_repeat" parameter do?
