Issue #325: Infrared Scan with NEC candle remote crashes Bus Pirate 5

Infrared Scan with NEC candle remote crashes Bus Pirate 5:
Image

I recently got a bus pirate 5 from blinkinlabs and updated the firmware to e2429e0. I have these Infrared controlled candles at my sisters place that I wanted to analyse the remote signals with, but irrx crashes the bus pirate and it blinks red and becomes unresponsive, as soon as I use the remote. I think it is NEC and it looks like sigrok / pulseview is able to decode it here (see screenshot).

I don’t have another RPi with me for debugging and I can not take the remote home sadly, so debugging this further might get complicated for me. I did use it successfully on something else that is infrared (great wolf lodge IR wand) and in logic analyzer mode I was able to get the screenshot above and added a sigrok file of one signal.
