Hello,

I found the problem that was disrupting pcsc-lite on some Redhat systems
and the mutex call.
I will release a fix tomorrow for it.  I have noticed another problem when
you call GetStatusChange on some systems.  For some reason the status
thread goes defunct and then status changes are not noticed.  To
workaround that in the meantime you might do the following:

do {
rv = SCardConnect( ..... )
usleep(...)
while ( rv == SCARD_W_REMOVED_CARD );

This will wait for card insertion and not cause any more processes to
build up on the resource manager.  I will be fixing this problem also this
week since I am working full time to get a beta pcsc by the end of the
month.

Otherwise the Mac OS development is going well.  It runs well under X - I
had to create my own parser for the config file but other than that it is
a go.

Regards,
Dave
