For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.2-4.1sarge1. Due to technical problems with the security buildd infrastructure this update lacks a build for the Sun Sparc architecture. It will be released as soon as the problems are resolved.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.3-0.1.
