you mean the debian sources. i started writing an ugly swap precheck, but
this one was never ment for use and not even distributed. in the latest
cryptsetup packages in unstable, a new swap precheck which is better.

yes, please try to reproduce the bug. and please close it if you fail to
do so. the endless loop could be produced by the ugly swap precheck, and
this script has never been distributed.
