OK. If I were debugging libp11, it would be useful to know what the exception actually was, but as it is all I can say is that it seems to be a libp11 problem. As you noted further below:

You'll probably have to just swallow the exceptions and retry until it works or your code decides to give up and return an error. Maybe one of the libp11 maintainers or someone else using the library will dig into it at some point.
