Bug description:
I have a mythbuntu 9.10 system with a PVR-250 and a serial irblaster.
I noticed that /dev/lircd and /dev/lircd1 symlinks are pointing to the same file
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2009-11-07 20:10 /dev/lircd -> /var/run/lirc/lircd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2009-11-07 20:10 /dev/lircd1 -> /var/run/lirc/lircd
The second should be pointing to /var/run/lirc/lircd1.
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 2009-11-07 20:10 /var/run/lirc/lircd
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 2009-11-07 20:10 /var/run/lirc/lircd1
The problem is in /etc/init.d/lirc. The build_transmitter_args() function
correctly sets TRANSMITTER_SOCKET, but because it is called via
`build_transmitter_args` (i.e. in backquotes) the setting of the global
variable isn't being preserved after the function returns. So when it is later
used to create the symlink, the old default value is used.
