Passwords with long characters are failing because the multi-byte character
functions rely on the locale. So I tried setting the locale but then that fails
because libc wants to have /usr/lib mounted to read the locale info and that's
difficult when typing the password to decrypt / . The file it wants is 80Mb so
too large to have in the initrd.
The only way I can see of getting through this is to use our own utf-8 char and
string length functions. Attached is a patch. Does this seem sane or is there a
better way?
