Cannot mount ntfs image with truecrypt anymore

After recenty upgrade I cannot mount a truecrypt image with ntfs filesystem anymore. Up to now I have a truecrypt image which contains a ntfs filesystem. When trying to mount this image with

sudo truecrypt -u <truecrypt_ntfs_image> /mnt/crypt

the mount process consumes up to 99% cpu and does not return anymore. This is however only with ntfs formatted truecrypt images. Trying this procedure with a vfat formatted image, I have access to my image.

I assume that it is not truecrypt which faults, but mount. When I try to access my image via truecrypt without mounting, everything is fine:

sudo truecrypt -u <truecrypt_ntfs_image>

Afterwards I need to enter my password for the image and the image is mounted to /dev/mapper/truecrypt0. Trying to mount this device fails and the mount process consumes again up to 99% of my cpu and does not return anymore.

sudo mount /dev/mapper/truecrypt0 /mnt/crypt

Same procedure for a vfat image runs fine.

Any hints what went wrong?
