Hi,
please use you distro bugzilla and once distro maintainer has enough info,
create upstream issue
Distro specific bug is https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/38550

I bet it is another problem in libgcrypt 1.6
(the first one is http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/issues/detail?id=199 where
I already sent fix directly to gcrypt upstream)

Please try to downgrade libgcrypt, rebuild cryptsetup 1.6.3 and try again.
(There is no whirlpool specific code in cryptsetup. I will check gcrypt
how gcrypt use whirlpool later though...)

I plan to release 1.6.4 soon with disabling slow pbkdf2 from gcrypt, so if there
is another issue it should be fixed as well.

Thanks,
Milan

p.s.
As upstream maintainer, I have really no time to fix distro specific issues
I personally use Debian/Gentoo/Fedora/CentoOS where I can do some distro specific things
but I cannot simply test everything. Distro maintainer understand distro details,
so he can send me all relevant debug logs etc.

Just one warning: if anyone said he tested "cryptsetup-nuke-keys (AUR) 1.6.3-2" or so
these report will go directly to /dev/null.
Please always use upstream code when reporting to upstream. Thanks.
