Without more information, I think it makes more sense to debug this as a
s2disk bug than a libgcrypt bug.  To really be able to do anything here
from a libgcrypt point of view, a gdb backtrace is needed, or some
simpler way to reproduce the problem that doesn't look as potentially
disk corrupting as s2disk with the above configuration does.

Any objection to re-assigning this to s2disk?
