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. Is it some memory leak in pcscd? lsb_release -rd: Description: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS Release: 14.04 pcscd: Installed: 1.8.10-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.8.10-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1.8.10-1ubuntu1 0 500 http://pl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcsc-lite/+bug/1511674/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
