Hey guys. i am working on a project with the adafruit nfc shield. but i have a problem. my program reads an nfc tag an places the read name from the tag into a queue. the problem is that if i remove a tag too quickly, before it has read it all, the arduino crashes and reboots.
to my knowledge, the nfc shield outputs high into digital pin 2 when there isn't a readable card near it. so i think i can use this somehow, but i don't know how to do it.
TL;DR
NFC shield crashes when i remove a tag, before it has read it all. how do i stop it from this?

Output in putty:
1. Mark
2. Bert
3. franok
franok should be frank, but it gets interrupted, and then reboots, the "ok" comes from the serial print in the setup of the code.
any help? 
Thanks in advance.
