In response to the attack against Truecrypt using CBC mode described in
a prior sci.crypt thread (see Kristian Gjøsteen's posts in "Truecrypt
4.0 Out", November 3, 2005), the developers of Truecrypt released
version 4.1 on 11/25/2005, which now implements LRW mode to thwart the
attack.

Not bad responsiveness, IMHO.
