In debug mode pcscd shows a lot of USB "device removed" notifications: 00000102 hotplug_libudev.c:594:HPEstablishUSBNotifications() Device removed 00001297 hotplug_libudev.c:269:get_driver() Looking for a driver for VID: 0x1D6B, PID: 0x0002, path: /dev/bus/usb/001/001 [cut - long list of usb devices] 00000246 hotplug_libudev.c:269:get_driver() Looking for a driver for VID: 0x03EB, PID: 0x2044, path: /dev/bus/usb/001/067 00022327 winscard_svc.c:319:ContextThread() Received command: CMD_GET_READERS_STATE from client 5 00500329 winscard_svc.c:319:ContextThread() Received command: CMD_GET_READERS_STATE from client 5 00500341 winscard_svc.c:319:ContextThread() Received command: CMD_GET_READERS_STATE from client 5 Flood of "device removed" messages was caused by some broken USB device (not card reader - CDC-ACM device), but it doesn't explain why pcscd allocated 5GB of memory.
