It's been a while, but I still have the issue. I looked at the code, and it
does indeed seem that --card-timeout does nothing. It sets the
opt.card_timeout variable in src/scdaemon.c but it's never used.

Looking at git log, it seems the card-timeout handling was removed in
4cc9fc5eb9bd91d943c185d59da4a2b4cb885ee6 (later than my bug report).

I guess something might have been overlooked when scdaemon was refactored last
year. In any case it'd be nice to have a working card-timeout feature.
