Yeah, I was afraid of that. If you have a fair amount of traffic, the log will growth rate with match that. > Rotating the log does not work the way it should.

The opened fd still points to the old log, so you actually would have to restart pcscd to get the new logfile to be used. Not sure if that's an option. Restarting pcscd on regular basis could also tell us if we're faced with a crash due to accumulation (eg. overflow that ends up eating a valuable data area) or something random, if its occurrence seems unrelated to how long pcscd has been in operation. > I’m afraid I’ll not be able to introduce this extensive logging in the > productive environment. Understood. If libusbx logging can't do, then maybe you can take a look at usbmon [1], provided it can be setup with minimal logging so as not to interfere too much with your production system. The idea is still to try to figure out what kind of operations are occurring at the time of the crash, to first find out if there's anything out of the ordinary, and if not, identify how it may be possible to replicate the issue.
