It is a bug in your PKCS#11 module.
Your module is not stateless since it assumes the card to be in a
certain state between calls.
What PKCS#11 lib are you using?

Yes. If an application power off the card then the card is powered off
for every application.

Can you explain why you need to patch testpcsc?
Why do you want to add a timeout?
