I don't assume that the kernel currupts data.  So the problem is
either in gpg or in the reader.

I did extensive code staring and could not find a problem in my code.
Given that I don't have any problems when using a reader with an
updated firmware, I am pretty sure that it is the reader's fault.

To develop a workaround for the readers with non-updatable firmware, I
need to talk with the vendor.  What _might_ help is to limit the packet
size even further.  In g10/ccid-driver.c, look for

      DEBUGOUT ("enabling workaround for buggy SCM readers\n");
      handle->max_ifsd = 48;

and change the ifsd to 45.
