[Pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#364529: cryptsetup: non-terminal input truncated at 32 characters

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.2+1.0.3-rc3-1
Severity: important

When sending a pass-phrase over stdin without a terminal, the input 
string is truncated to 32 characters.  Using "ltrace", it is clearly 
visible.  This rendered my mounts with long pass-phrases unmountable, 
and I had to down-grade.
