simple test case

The PKCS#11 Usage Guide recommends calling C_Initialize() in the child after a fork(), on any PKCS#11 provider module which was loaded in the parent.

OpenSC craps itself if you do, because it confuses pcscd.

Comment 2 David Woodhouse 2015-06-23 10:47:04 UTC 
I added a test case for this in the 0.15.0 release. Run pkcs11-tool --test-fork and watch it fail. Unfortunately a *fix* didn't make it to the release.
