pcscd dead

Dear K12Linux colleagues, 

when trying to get an id-card reader connected to a thinclient working, a ran in to a pcscd issue. 

Logged in to the clients chroot: 

bash-4.1# service pcscd start 
Starting PC/SC smart card daemon (pcscd): [ OK ] 
bash-4.1# service pcscd status 
pcscd dead but subsys locked 
bash-4.1# pcscd -H 
00000000 pcscdaemon.c:371:main() Hotplug failed: pcscd is not running 

I have the same software installed as on non-thinclient Centos machines: 

bash-4.1# yum search pcsc 
========================================================================== N/S Matched: pcsc ========================================================================== 
pcsc-lite-acr38u.i686 : ACS ACR 38 USB (acr38u non-CCID) Smartcard Reader driver for PCSC-lite 
pcsc-lite.i686 : PC/SC Lite smart card framework and applications 
pcsc-lite-devel.i686 : PC/SC Lite development files 
pcsc-lite-doc.i686 : PC/SC Lite developer documentation 
pcsc-lite-libs.i686 : PC/SC Lite libraries 
pcsc-lite-openct.i686 : OpenCT PC/SC Lite driver 

Name and summary matches only, use "search all" for everything. 

Anybody ran in to this before? Googling this problem, I find no useful info. 

Greetings, J.
