Myles,

Please be very careful how you characterize this situation. Yes, of
course TrueCrypt is not completely impervious to this type of attack.
But it's not because of TrueCrypt's failure in any way. It works as
designed. It is the failure of the OS to protect itself from this attack
that is the problem here.
