I don't know the answer to this one, but it looks like you are using
a Debian Linux distribution. If so, upgrading to the latest tetex
packages in sid (the "unstable" version) gives you a newer version
than what you have. I upgraded this morning and I get:
pdflatex -v
pdfTeX (Web2C 7.3.7) 3.14159-1.00a-pretest-20011114-ojmw
kpathsea version 3.3.7
Here's part of 'apt-cache show tetex-bin' on my system:
