BUGS¶
Some PKCS#11 Libraries fails on card removal and re-insert. to avoid this,
pkcs11_eventmgr try to re-initialize stuff by calling C_Finalize() and
C_Initialize() on card removal
Some apps like [
xscreensaver-command] may fail due to external events (
eg: try to unlock an unlocked session ). In this case, command incorrectly
returns error code.
User shoult take care on this circumstance
