I put in new batteries and upgraded the slimserver software to version
6.5.0 for debian.  The remote problem was still present. I noticed a
comment in the release notes for 6.5.0 about a change made concerning
remote button pushing time and heavy fingered users.  I then tried
pushing and releasing the play button very quickly and so far this
fixes the problem.  I've also had some problems with the fast
forward/skip function but pushing/releasing these buttons quickly seems
to solve that issue as well.  When the play button didn't react as
initially described, the natural tendency was to push it harder which
held it down longer making the problem worse.  I can see why the fast
forward/skip buttons have a time contraint because their function
changes as a result of hold down time.  I would expect the play button
to be less sensitive to time.  I don't even know if it should ever go
to save playlist as a result of pushing the play button.  I'll check
the documentation on this one.

I really have to make an effort to release the button quickly to make
it work correctly.  Although it's certainly usable this way, I would
like to have it feel a little more natural for pushing a remote button
and am surprised no one else has experienced this.  Hopefully it will
keep working and this is not just a fluke.  So far so good.
