Package: pcscd
Version: 1.8.15-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Twice in two days, I noticed my laptop fan was going carsy allthough I
was only doing many mail activity.
Twice I found that pcscd was eating a complete CPU and remembered that
each time I had inserted a regular mass storage USB key (two different keys)
not my crypto key.
