I'm sorry for blowing off the test of official releases.
It seems that the problem was fixed by

2009-11-25  John Tytgat  <address@hidden>

        Better handling of start of `eexec' section.
        This fixes Savannah bug #28090.

        * src/type1/t1parse.c (T1_Get_Private_Dict): Skip all whitespace
        characters before start of `eexec' section.

(for detail, please check https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?28090)

>Any idea when the next version is going to be released?

Werner could comment, sorry. If it's not soon, I will file
something to Ubuntu BTS for temporal fix.
