I am adding this to the thread but I added the OT because it takes a 
different direction.

Schneier, UW Team Show Flaw In TrueCrypt Deniability

Now this covers upto TC5 and it is reported that TC6 fixes many of these 
issues.

To make TrueCrypt fully effective, you still need to have an encrypted 
drive.  Watch for all those temp files and many desktop applications 
that store opened files and paths.

I have seen this in many programs.
