With the integration of PKCS#11 into various places we're running into
the problem of initializing a library multiple times. When PKCS#11 was
used in isolated cases this wasn't a problem.
Each library (eg: gnutls, libgcr, glib-networking, pakchois, etc.) is
trying to load a PKCS#11 module and run CK_Initialize. The modules then
return CKR_ALREADY_INITIALIZED for that process.
In my opinion most users of PKCS#11 (unless they have very special
requirements) should treat CKR_ALREADY_INITIALIZED as a success status.
Does that make sense?
Cheers,
Stef
