pcscd is a smart card daemon.  If you don't use smart cards for
authentication, you can just turn it off with /sbin/chkconfig pcscd off

It sounds like a bug, can you file it?  Running strace -s512 -f -p
$(/sbin/pidof pcscd) might give some indication what it's doing (or
getting a backtrace from gdb)

Very strange.  When I attached strace, the cpu cycles used dropped
down to nothing.
odd.
Then, when I stopped pcscd and tried to restart it,
the process won't start up again.
Maybe try rm -f /var/run/pcscd*

  I wonder whether strace somehow
caused pcscd to not stop cleanly?  I'll file a bug and post with the
bug ID.  Should I CC you inside the bug report?
Sure, maybe include a reference to this thread in the mailing list archives, too.
