Device signature different

[Mike Kerner]

I ran into this by accident, and I don't know how far back the old token
will work.  Even on Apple's forums, this behavior is largely a mystery.  I
have yet to receive a notification of a change, even when checking for
devices that have asked to not receive push notifications any longer.

What I have taken to doing is to have the app check its token (but because
of bug 11236 in LC, you can't do that until you have the openCard message
for the first card of the stack).  If the token has changed, it reports the
new token.
