[slinkelist] Strange troubles with IR

[Jay Pfaffman]

I suspect that this is a hardware problem, but it could prove useful
for others on the list.  

My slinke's been working fine for a couple years now (or is it
three?).  A couple days ago it started acting up.  I haven't
completely diagnosed it but it looks like the first time IR signals
are retransmitted (I've got receivers in several rooms and a single
transmitter in my wiring closet) it just keeps squirting out IR until
I power-cycle the slinke (this is evidenced by the light staying
orange and no components being able to receive IR signals while in
view of the IR transmitter).  

Having CDJ send IR signals seems to work fine (until I've tried to
have it retransmit, though I haven't triple-checked this hypothesis),
but I can no longer control my components the system via IR.  THE
HORROR!

Could I have misconfigured something (I have edited my map file
recently) or is it likely that either the transmitter or the slinke is
broken in some way?  Is there some double-secret reset I can or should
do?

Thanks.
