Many thanks. Upgrade to 1.40.7 really solved my problem.
However, there seems to be one more strange thing (not that big): If I include some transparent stuff on a light background (i.e. a metapost figure on a light gray screen), there's a visible rectangle around it (on the screen). Don't you what's the cause and how to solve it?
Many thans once more. And greetings to all.

Martin,
Happy message. The error occurring in pdftex 1.40.6 apparently has
vanished in 1.40.7. Now pdf's are produced here on a simple testrun.
