I grep'ed / cut his config file and it was all unique entries.  I am truly
at a loss here.  The common thread is debian based distros which I do not
use to see if ti happens here.  Since others are having the issue with
Ubuntu, I am at beginning to go that route, but it does seem odd.  Maybe a
setting from an older version or something?  I do not know were to go since
irw does the right thing.  Maybe there is another lirc config file
somewhere that is being missed?
