Believe it or not, this is a Y2K bug in TeX/LaTeX. You need to upgrade
to a newer version. Last I heard you could pick up a fixed version for
slink in the proposed updates. Download the tetex*.deb files from
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/slink-proposed-updates/
or use your favorite mirror, and install them via dpkg -i tetex*.deb.
