Steve: Yeah I agree with all of your assessments. To address your questions:
> What precisely did this look like before you commented it out?
Nothing was commented out initially. I commented both out as an experiment before posting the bug.
> Have you tested with uncommentin the cryptswap1 fstab line yet? What was the esult?
Yes, it seems to be working normally.
> if re-enabling the fstab line causes your stability problems to reappear, this likely points to an underlying problem with swap on your system, not an issue with cryptsetup itself...
I plan on giving it a try sometime soon. I am, though, just a little bit worried about some kind of corruption permanently affecting something I use for work or long-term operation of the system. "Random errors from programs" as I stated in my original report probably sounds a lot like running out of memory, but to be clear, I had plenty of free RAM, using under a gigabyte of the four I have.
So, to close this up: definitely an installer/upgrader problem, not an actual operation problem, with cryptsetup. Is your reason for pointing this out because I filed my bug improperly, or just taking stock of the situation?
