Okay, having just said that this patch wouldn't change anything I now 
feel like a fool.

Doesn't it seem odd that the reaction of the card reader to an INQUIRY 
would depend on the sequence of commands it received during the _previous_ 
insertion cycle?  Evidently the readers don't fully reinitialize during an 
unplug-replug.

By the way, did you ever observe your problem on the first time you 
plugged in a reader after cycling its power?  _That_ certainly ought to 
cause a complete reset.  I can't imagine the patch affecting the behavior 
of a card reader immediately after it is powered on.
