The correct syntax would be something like:

I know the syntax to the cryptsetup command I gave is incorrect, but
crypt setup should catch such errors and print a useful warning
message rather than lock up the system


Furthermore, I can't reproduce this (using the version currently in unstable):

Yes, these commands work OK.  I only discovered the bug when I made a
mistake in experimenting with cryptsetup

Problem is I can't reproduce the bug with your commands either (executing them as a regular user):

Are you able to reproduce the error with the version of cryptsetup that is currently in unstable?
