setting GnuPG card to 'not forces' does not let sign

[Matthias Apitz]

Hello,

I was tired of having always enter the PIN when sending mails to sign them
and switched the card to 'not forces':

Signature PIN ....: not forced

After this (without withdrawing the card, i.e. the PIN was already
entered around 10 times and the card unlocked), the signing says:

$ echo bla > test.doc
$ LANG=C
$ gpg2 --armor --output test.doc.signed --sign test.doc
gpg: signing failed: Bad PIN
gpg: signing failed: Bad PIN

The bad PIN counter in the card is not decremented. Switching the card
back to 'forced' makes signing with PIN working again.

What do I wrong?
