Euro-plugs don't have ground wires, so if your box is statically
loaded (or the adapter somehow connects to the housing, which
should not go unnoticed) there's no way to get rid of the
potential difference.

It looks as if your Soekris is loaded out of some reason and
there is no chance to conduct it away (except via your body, if 
you touch it :)

Even if you don't encounter that with your new power supply, 
the problem most probably persists. You just don't sense it
anymore because of the ground wire. I suggest you focus on 
finding the reason instead of fighting the symptoms.

It is highly improbable that the leakage originates from the 
power plug, as you do not have more than a few volts here (given
that you didn't open it etc etc). You just wouldn't feel it.
