`top -b -n1 |grep -A2 -e Cpu -e "%CPU"`
might have been useful to figure out what was going on.

It was not a bug in pcscd, but a strange interaction with ifd-cyberjack.bundle 
and the ccid bundle.
If someone is having problems with pcscd pulling 100% and they need pcscd, 
then I would suggest making sure that:
  if they don't have a device served by ifd-cyberjack,
   then they issue:
    `rpm -e ifd-cyberjack` and `service pcscd restart`
   else if they do have an ifd-cyberjack
	then track down the other ifd's and the ccid package and remove them.

If it is not needed, then that would be reasonable.

BAH, I need to stop writing logic programs.
