BUGS
Some PKCS#11 Libraries fails on card removal and re-insert. to
avoid this, pkcs11_eventmgr try to re-initialize stuff by calling
C_Finalize() and C_Initialize() on card removal
Some apps like [xscreensaver-command] may fail due to
external events ( eg: try to unlock an unlocked session ). In this
case, command incorrectly returns error code.
User shoult take care on this circumstance
