truecrypt question

I'm hoping there's some truecrypt users out there...
I created a file, file.tc, using the options:
normal
no filesystem
serpent-twofish-aes hash
no keyfile
mouse data for entropy
A 70 gig file was created.
I mounted it with
sudo truecrypt ./file.tc
Then I checked it.
sudo truecrypt -vl
Which told me the file was mounted as /dev/mapper/truecrypt0
I then ran:
sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/mapper/truecrypt0
The system locked up when it was almost halfway through! Completely
locked up, had to reboot.
I tried it again, this time with graphic effects turned off since I'm
running the binary NVIDIA drivers on a fairly recent card that isn't
supported natively under Ubuntu and thought it was an X quirk.
Locked up again, with the same steps (to format, since the file is
already created).
Anyone else have this sort of thing happen to them?
