IMHO, once, the VERIFY_PIN_START command is sent, the device moves to a
"secure" mode. but, the IFDHICCPresence command gets executed every 200ms
or so
( am not sure on the exact timing), and when that occurs, if the reader
sends
a command to update the card status, the this "secure" mode goes off which
can be a cause of thie GET_KEY_PRESSED to fail.
