[Muscle] Problems with CardTerminal Block methods in Linux using Threads and Smartcardio (Java)

From: Caden.smith Smith (caden.smith.01gmail.com)

Hello,

I am developing a Java Applet that uses smartcards.

This Applet works very well in Windows but the block methods
(waitingforcardpresent/absent) fail in Linux when there id more then one
reader present in the system (Since I lunch a thread for each reader)

I posted this problem in the Sun forums and was advised to post it in this
list also because the problem may be at the PCSCLite daemon level.

The post is in http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5422519&tstart=0along
with two normal and small Java Class's (not Applet) that reproduce the
problem.

Is this really a PCSCLite bug? Can I expect a patch or should I proceed with
a different approach in terminal handling?

I am currently writing in Windows, I do not remember witch version of
PCSCLite I have in my Linux system, but using Ubuntu 9.10 fully updated in
all packages.

Ty
Cad
