[Theory on sticky keys]

Is it specifically the same behaviour I see? My flirc is fine unless I press a button, then it keeps repeating that specific key ad infinitum. Unless I press a key on the remote, there isn't a problem.

Yes, this is the behavior you describe. When I press a button on my remote, my flirc repeated the effect of this key loop.

I think I found where the interference coming home. I have a raspberry pi in raspbmc. I have a fluocompactes lamp. If I turn on the lamp, my flirc becomes insane.

[Key press on remote results in multiple (identical) key events, e.g. 1 -> 11111]

Same problem for me. I have a raspberry pi in raspbmc and an apple remote.
