Jason,
     Success!  I updated RH 9 to 2.4.34.4 (the latest stable 2.4
kernel), installed version of 2.3.0 of the Omnikey driver, and it
worked.  Pcscd loaded the proper driver when the reader was inserted
with no kernel panic.  When I ran testpcsc and placed the card on the
reader, I got data back.

Before I upgraded I tried the old kernel with v. 2.3.0 of the Omnikey
driver and got a slightly less verbose kernel panic, enough to figure
out that the panic was occurring in the uhci_hcd module.  So my guess is
that the problem was a bug in the USB uhci module that the Omnikey
driver happening to be invoking.

Now I just have to write my application... :-)

Many thanks!
Justin
