Possible TrueCrypt vulnerability

In TrueCrypt 5.1 a possible vulnerability was found. A russian blog entry describes that the keys can eventually be written on the hard disk when the system goes into hibernation and the system drive is encrypted. From there they can be extracted later on. Especially Windows 2000 with a RAID controller based on Intel's Matrix Storage chips shall be vulnerable.

Until now there is feedback from neither the TrueCrypt developers nor any other security expert to confirm or disprove the suspicion.
