Glad I could help. Your simple testcase helped a lot to
isalate the bug (bug reporters, please take note). The patch will be
in the next kernel releases.

That's a big mystery to me and that's one of the big
defficiency of IrComm applications (PPP over IrComm, IrLPT,
IrTramP). That's also why Microsoft want to kill it.
My guess is that when there is an incomming connection, Linux
take the first free ircomm device that is of the same type
(3-wire-raw, 9-wire and co). You will see in the code that any ircomm
device with minor >= 0x10 default to 3-wire-raw instead of 9-wire
(check line < 0x10). Then, you can follow in the code how those two
are treated differently, especially IrCommm uses TTP whereas IrLPT is
direct over LMP.
