It is known that a few card readers tend to crash in certain
situation. What reader are you using?

The card reader is internal and attached to the USB.
The PC is a Fujitsu Siemens Scenic L, the card reader is a
"Fujitsu Siemens USB Smartcard Reader", the manufacturer of the
USB device happens to be "OMNIKEY AG". The USB ID is
Vendor 0x08D4, Product 0x0009, Revision 0x0200

The drivers I use are WHQL certified (which means the've passed
several conformance and stress tests) and signed by Microsoft.
The driver version is 3.7.1.1 from 2001-09-14, it's driver name
is "cmeu0wdm".

regards
Stefan

A certification of the driver does not mean anything. What they test is only
what MS software uses. Using other valid commands often leads to driver failures.

We can't track down bugs in Windows driver. If you experience the same problem
when using it under Unix, please reopen this bug or write to me directly
