I had this PRECISE problem myself.  And here's how I fixed it...  You will
need to recompile lirc (which is never fun)...

in the source code for lirc:  change the definition of lirc_t (in
lirc-0.8.6/drivers/lirc.h) to be:
typedef unsigned int lirc_t;
(rather than typedef int lirc_t;)

This forces it to a uint32_t type, essentially.  Then recompile.  Works for
me.

This is something that really needs to be sent to the lirc devs...  Jarod,
you up to it? :)
