thanks for the patch, commited. I hope it doesn't cause side effects.
the proble with usb reset is that the device will get a new device
number on the usb bus, and thus the old openct ifdhandler will need
to die and exit, and udev will spawn a new one for the new device.

In my CCID driver I used to reset the device when the driver stopped.
It worked well except for keyboards with PINPAD. The keyboard was
reset and was not working anymore. I needed to manually unplug a
replug it. But it was long ago (before udev) so maybe this side effect
has disapeared.

so usb reset is like unplugging and plugging in again. except for the
absolute worst case scenario it should never be necessary to do that.

I agree.
