i just tested this now, as i was on the console last time. i can verify
that X freezes completely. and i tested the same command with 1GB
swapfile and without any active swap in X too. no freeze, mouse still
moves, ctrl+c stops the command after some seconds.
i've reconsidered the whole issue, and came to the conclusion, that
the bug must be either in kernel loopback support, device-mapper support
or dm-crypt support. it may be even in cryptsetup(-luks), but i don't
believe that.
Since cryptsetup is not involved once the mapping is setup, and since it
would be a kernel bug anyway if it crashed due to cryptsetup
misbehaving, it seems very likely that this bug should be reassigned to
the kernel package.
