failure of openvpn to start



Folk,

Since my update of lenny last Saturday these lines appear in the syslog.

Aug 27 10:37:04 joule kernel: tun0: Disabled Privacy Extensions
Aug 27 10:37:04 joule ovpn-myvpn[5179]: echo up tun0 1500 1544 10.4.0.1 10.4.0.2 init
Aug 27 10:37:04 joule ovpn-myvpn[5179]: openvpn_execve: external program may not be called due to setting of --script-security level
Aug 27 10:37:04 joule ovpn-myvpn[5179]: script failed: external program fork failed
Aug 27 10:37:04 joule ovpn-myvpn[5179]: Exiting

myvpn.conf follows. 

What "external program" and what "script-security level" 
would this refer to?  Any insights?  

Thanks,        ... Peter E.
