I can't promise I will find the time to build a full testing program but
here is a little contribution :

I have a small program (in attachment) that :
- connects to a reader and shares its connection.
- reconnects to the same reader performing a reset (but still shares the
reader)
- set a transaction on the reader
- waits a fair amount of time (15 sec)
- sends some data
- end the transaction and leave the card untouched...
- closes up every thing (connection, context, etc...) but leave the card
untouched.

Then when I run this piece of code concurently. (say A first then B one
or 2 seconds after A) :
- B gives up with setting up the transaction as A has a lock on the
reader (timeout)
- however B has successfully reseted the card with reconnect()
- A wakes up and tries to send data but complains the reader has gone
reset (which is true)...

Two questions about this :
- shouldn't Reconnect() fails with E_SHARING_VIOLATION when B attempt to
reconnect and reset a temporarily locked reader ?
- does Windows behaves in a similar way ? <- if so then I suppose it is
a normal feature but still what is allowed/disallowed while a
transaction is on is fuzzy.

...

This mail is already long enough so I believe I can consume some extra
bytes and add a few words to appologize for being so descriptive... most
of you have probably hit the delete button already... many thanks to
those who didn't ;o)
