Package: cryptsetup
Version: 20050111-3
Severity: important
When I use cryptsetup to create an encrypted swapfile, the system
freezes sortly after I start doing anything memory-intensive, such as
running 'darcs pull' to pull changes from one darcs archive to another.
In /etc/crypttab I have:
cswap /swap /dev/random swap
and in /etc/fstab:
/dev/mapper/cswap none swap defaults

Debian Release: 3.1
