[Francois Gouget]

Package: lirc
Version: 0.9.4c-9
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When trying to create a configuration file for my remote, irrecord
crashes when it gets to the 'Now hold down button Xxx' step:

# /etc/init.d/lircd stop

lircd.service, but it can still be activated by:

This was working fine in the Debian Jessie package, lirc 0.9.0~pre1-1.2.
