Package: bcrypt
Version: 1.1-6
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss

Hi,

bcrypt doesn't handle at least some files (possibly large ones?).

This source file

 13G -rw-r--r-- 1 matthew matthew  13G Nov 16 16:01 CTS-2012-11.tar.bz2

when encrypted with bcrypt -cr, results in only 139M of output:

139M -rw-r--r-- 1 matthew matthew 139M Nov 16 17:20 CTS-2012-11.tar.bz2.bfe

which decrypts to a similar size:

139M -rw-r--r-- 1 matthew matthew 139M Nov 16 17:26 CTS-2012-11.tar.bz2

This is a very serious problem - had I not passed the -r argument,
bcrypt would have erased my original file, causing irreparable data
loss.

Regards,

Matthew
