[dm-crypt] crypsetup segfaulting during luksFormat

[Sven Eschenberg]

Hummm,

should I consider this geek humor or are you serious, the CPU is rather
slow (imho)?

Anyway, tweaking the iterationcount didn't chaneg a thing, messing with
the params did not help either.

The Backtrace does not really help a lot, I guess:

(gdb) bt
#0  0x000000000040d3fe in sigvtalarm ()
#1  0x0f0000000fc0c748 in ?? ()
#2  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

Well at least we know the crash happens in sigvtalarm, which I assume is
a signal handler of some sort within cryptsetup.

Regards

-Sven
