Howdy Thomas,

Yes, please do try "true" and disabling the "brute force". If that
resolves the issue for you, obviously it still needs to be understood
how or why it got set to false. On the assumption it does help, the
first suspect in your case is likely going to be btlirc - any chance
you could try to recreate the steps you took? Or at least document in
this bug as best you can remember?
