scdaemon can't die due to a SIGPIPE because the handler has been set to
SIG_IGN.  pcsc-wrapper may die though.

I assume your problem is with the pth library.  Note that pth uses a
signal for its own (IIRC, SIGUSR2) and thus you need to tell the
debugger to pass that signal through.   Some debuggers have problems
with pth; gdb works fine.

Use strace/truss etc to debug such problems.
