Right, I see the risk here. But that just suggest that we should use
thread-safe API everywhere. 

Anyway, a deepre look at PCSC-lite shows that despite pthread_create
being referenced libpcsclite.so, it is does not seems to be really
called. Its presence seems to be the consequence of code sharing between
libpcsclite.so and pcscd.

I will try to patch so that libpcsclite.so does not use -lpthread
anymore, but even if it works, that patch will be hard to sell upstream.
