I needed the following patch:

diff --git a/pinst.c b/pinst.c
index 70f5f4e..d35d7cf 100644
--- a/pinst.c
+++ b/pinst.c
@@ -349,6 +349,9 @@ AddObjectIfNeeded(CK_OBJECT_CLASS objClass,
     if (io == NULL)
         return NULL;

+    /* initialize pointers to functions */
+    pem_CreateMDObject(NULL, io, NULL);
+
     io->gobjIndex = count;

     /* add object to global array */


... to get over the following crash:

#0  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

Ah, we now add to the global internal list a fully constructed object. The invocation of pem_CreateMDObject(NULL, io, NULL); is solely for it's side effect of setting the function pointers so a (void) cast seems in order.  Additionally, the (void) pem_CreateMDObject(NULL, io, NULL); could be inside CreateObject itself.

At some point should analyze why need CreateObject and pem_createObject. That's food for the upstream work, not now.

Elio, is there anything that prevents this one-liner from being applied?
