Problem using iso2usb.sh LUKS encryption

I'm having a problem, in that this freezes at a point. The processes in top show a few more kworker jobs than I'm used to, and usb-storage, but nothing's working. I'm booting on the 4.19.59*huge kernel, have it's modules installed, etc, and have cryptsetup, & squashfs. Nothing is complaining to ldd about lack of support. Here's the error: Code:mount: /mnt/alieniso.8fGU7K: WARNING: device write-protected, mounted read-only.

This will overwrite data on /dev/loop1 irrevocably.

Are you sure? (Type uppercase yes): YES

Enter passphrase for /mnt/alienusb.WmxCPt/slhome.img:

# FROZEN HERE AND NEVER PROGRESSES. Processes die away to 0%.I have entered the passphrase. If I enter a wrong password, it makes me do it over, so I don't think the script is hanging. I have every compression algorithm except one (ztsd?) which I never heard of. If I do it without the encrypted home, iso2usb.sh is fine.
My line was: iso2usb.sh -i slackware64-live-xfce-current.iso -o /dev/sdb -c 1G -w 10

Ctrl_C doesn't kill it. I have to do a kill -9 on the appropriate bash terminal. 'ps -e |grep tty3' reports 2 bash processes and cryptsetup. I presume it's cryptsetup that has diminished interest. Sending a HUP to cryptsetup gives me an offer to press Ctrl_C to abort. But it doesn't throw an error or restart work.latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=gxfiGXEo0-E:xqb0-8m8-mI:F7zBnMy latest?i=gxfiGXEo0-E:xqb0-8m8-mI:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=gxfiGXEo0-E:xqb0-8m8-mI:gIN9vFwgxfiGXEo0-E
