Hello Viktor,

from Changeset 5094 [1]:
"[...] 'path' is [now] mandatory for the 'Local' PINs."

I think of it as a temporary solution to fix a weakness of "IAS ECC"
cards as specified by The Gixel Group [2]. But keep in mind that the
behaviour up to revision 4927 was conforming with PKCS#15 and ISO
7816-15. After your changes [3] that isn't the case any longer. 

As stated in another thread [4] it will break Java Cards and you should
be prepared to move that hack into an emulator.

Regards
Andre
