I used irrecord to create a new remote conf for the offending remote.  Most
settings were similar.  "one" and "zero" changed slightly, as did the "gap"
and "plead".  Flags was just RC5 (instead of RC5|CONST_LENGTH).  Also, it
generated a toggle_bit_mask instead of just a toggle bit.

Key codes were identical.  Still had the same issue so I dug some more.

Found there was a slight version difference in the lirc package.  The old
system had 0.9.0-0ubuntu1, new system had 0.9.0-0ubuntu5.  Pulled the old
packages on the new system and installed.  At that point, I only had a
minor repeating issue every once in a while.  Adding "suppress_repeats" to
the lircd.conf file fixed the issue.

So, there's something between 0.9.0-0ubuntu1 and 0.9.0-0ubuntu5 that
tickles some problem with repeats.  I'll submit a bug to the ubuntu guys
since that's where it appears the problem is originating.

Thanks for all your help!
