Hi,
Hopefully I can shed a little on this.
I think this statement is probably a bit misleading:

insertion

report

Actually, Securityd is responsible for identifying cards and
launching pcscd. When it finds a reader that it recognizes, it auto-
launches pcscd and uses it
until it is no longer needed + 2 minutes. This is mainly to reduce
the number of non-active daemons present on the system. When it
identifies a card, it spawns what is called a tokend which is a card
abstractor, which uses pcscd to talk to the reader. If tokend does
not recognize the card, then securityd shuts down pcscd. I somewhat
remember that Apple was planning on having a way to keep pcscd open
should an application need it .......
Thanks,
Dave

And you reported the bug to Debian [1].
The bug may be in libusb but I will need your help to track it.
Can both of you try to use the subversion [2] version of pcsc-lite and
ccid and try to reproduce the crash?
Thanks,
