OK, i needed to reboot my machine, finally. i experienced the same problem other people were having with version 0.9.2-2 crashing the pam stack, which actually made it so that i couldn't log in at all (login and xdm both rely on libpam-opensc on my machine). Rebooting to recovery mode (no PAM, just flat-file authentication) allowed me to downgrade to 0.9.2-1 for all the various opensc packages.
After the downgrade, logging in works again, and xscreensaver doesn't crash after authenticating the way i'd reported it doing earlier. i'd really like to help to resolve this in any way possible -- it sounds like it's an issue with the version of gcc used to compile the package? i *need* these packages to work right. Let me know if there's any specific ways i might be able to help debug or test. thanks for maintaining this tool! --dkg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
