Re:Backdoor in the source?

Nop, but now you know this has to be sorted out by code auditing, not by speculations about the official binaries. Baby steps.

Re:Compiler can not be trusted

Visual C++ 1.52c is the last version that could generate 16-bit code, which is needed to compile part of the boot loader for full disk/system encryption. The other solution would have been to write all the thing in assembly (or replaced the portion with the pre-compiled code instead), but that wouldn't have made more people happy to reverse-engineer more assembly, would it?

Re:'Now we know version v7.1a is not backdoored'

I meant, v7.1a is not backdoored *by the TrueCrypt developers between the sources and the binaries*, nothing more. I'll edit the sentence to make it clear.
