I somehow knew you would say this. However, you apparently do not know
that the bug he mentions was fixed in TrueCrypt 2.0 (he used 1.0).
Quoting from TrueCrypt history:

"Data corruption will no longer occur when a TrueCrypt partition is
subjected to heavy parallel usage (usually when copying files to or
from a TrueCrypt partition). This also fixes the problem with
temporarily inaccessible files stored in TrueCrypt partitions."

Also note that I was not comparing TrueCrypt with CrossCrypt (although
you seem to have taken it that way). I was responding to your 100%
positive recommendation of CrossCrypt. I felt it was not very fair to
give potential downloaders of CrossCrypt such a biased information and
to keep quiet about the problems that CrossCrypt has. I like balanced
discussions and balanced information.

Paul
