Hello,

It seems to be a bug in libusb(x) that makes several readers based on
a Realtek chip (RTS5169) not function on OSX when re-plugged into the
system where pcscd is already running (a clean state of libusb works
though).

As I don't have what it takes to debug and fix libusb(x), I found a
workaround. Not an elegant solution, but makes the device work. The
patch marks it as an ugly hack and also localizes it pretty well, so
it would be nice to include it in the upstream source (because there
should be an installer based on published releases, as I'll write in
another post)


Have a fruitful 2014!
