[Pcsclite-muscle] Problem (sigsegv) on reconnect.

Hello,

We've got some troubles with "libpcsclite". Perhaps, you could help us.

Context :
----------
We use 3 card readers (SCM SCR 3310) with pcscd on Debian Linux with
java environment.

We 've made a regular backport from latest release of 1.8.13 (remove
dependencies
to systemd named bpo60+1oab2) on squeeze (debian 6) Linux machines.

Here is a description of our environment, we are in a Java environment
(1.6.0_31) :
* Frontal : Apache / Tomcat
* Backend : Web application with API javax.smartcardio initialized with :
    System.setProperty("sun.security.smartcardio.library",
/usr/lib/libpcsclite.so);

At the frequency of 5 seconds, we monitor cards on reader (haproxy check).

The problem :
Sometimes, a sigsegv occurs on libpcsclite on winscard_clnt.c:979
    (void)pthread_mutex_unlock(&currentContextMap->mMutex);

This sigsegv implies sudden death of Tomcat (cf java_frames).

This part of code ( winscard_clnt.c:971) seems a bit strange :

              /* the hCard handle is now invalid
                 * -> another thread may have called SCardReleaseContext
                 *    so the mMutex has been unlocked (and is now invalid)
                 * -> another thread may have called SCardDisconnect
                 *    so the mMutex is STILL locked
                 * since we don't know just unlock the mutex */
   
Why releasing mutex since "mMutex has been unlocked (and is now invalid)" ?


Here is the configuration of the machine.

CCID driver version     (dpkg -l | grep -i ccid)
-------------------------
libccid                                            1.3.11-2

pcsc-lite version
---------------------
ii  libpcsclite-dev    1.8.13~bpo60+1oab2           Middleware to access
a smart card using PC/SC (development files)
ii  libpcsclite1         1.8.13~bpo60+1oab2           Middleware to
access a smart card using PC/SC (library)
ii  libpcsclite1-dbg  1.8.13~bpo60+1oab2           Middleware to access

ii  pcscd                 1.8.13~bpo60+1oab2           Middleware to
access a smart card using PC/SC (daemon side)

smart card reader name
