Alternatively, one can use

\usepackage[a4paper,dvips,breaklinks]{hyperref}

The only drawback is that if you produce a pdf file via
latex-->dvips-->ps2pdf, the link from the ToC entry to the actual
section heading will be only in the first of the two lines. But that
shouldn't be a problem, since you seem to use pdflatex to produce the
pdf version.

I admit that this is poorly documented in the hyperref manual. If you
(Juhapekka) can suggest a text that you would have understood, I will
hand it to Heiko Oberdiek, the maintainer of hyperref¹.
