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
