I used your sample code but do not notice anything strange.

The free memory reported by top is complex to interpret. If you want
to check the memory used by a process you should use something like:
$ ps axuwww | head -1
to have the name of the columns and:
$ ps axuwww | grep pcscd
to have the values for the pcscd process.
Then check the VSZ (virtual size) column for

In my case the value is stable and changes only when I insert or
remove a reader.

Can you also check the evolution of the pcscd VSZ in your case?
