Description of problem: Have a smartcard reader used for an OpenPGP card, and for some reason also have esc installed (not actually using esc at the moment). If I remove the smartcard from the reader .redhat/esc/esc.log starts growing rapidly with the following message repeated 1084229952[64d660]: SmartCard thread event detected. stops when the card is inserted again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): esc-1.0.0-16.fc6 pcsc-lite-1.3.1-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in with an OpenPGP card inserted in the card reader 2. Remove the card 3. Wait Actual results: /home shortly runs out of disk space due to .redhat/esc/esc.log growing uncontrollably. Expected results: Maybe one entry in esc.log at most. Additional info: Using the card reader for an OpenPGP card. Do not have any card compatible with esc so I can't test how it behaves if a compatible card is removed. Card reader is a Todos Argos Mini II USB, with pcsc-lite drivers compiled from vendor provided LGPL sources.
