I have exactly the same problem!

I am running yaVDR (it's based on Ubuntu 9.10), with lirc 0.8.6, also using the lirc_imon driver.
Following Device: Antec Veris Basic (r100 remote control) - authenticates as 15c2:0043 SoundGraph Inc.

I have created this udev-rule to prevent usbhid from loading the device:

#Prevent the USBHID driver from loading for the Antec Veris
SYSFS{idVendor}=="15c2", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0043", MODE="0666", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'echo -n $id:1.0 >/sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/unbind;\
echo -n $id:1.1 >/sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/unbind'"

After booting my system all seems to work fine, can be 10 minutes till 2 hours, then the lircd process hangs and connectionens will be refused.
I've noticed that when i am running "ps ax", the stat-column of the lircd process is Ds (Uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)) (normaly it is Ss).

When the lircd process gets the Ds status, killing or stopping the lirc-
daemon has no effect any more.
