You need to get the a slightly newer than 2.25.03 release from CVS.
There were some bug fixes put in (for RH7 port) that fixes this.
I had this problem as well. Take a look at:
http://minos.phy.bnl.gov/~bviren/debian/
for more info (and a .deb).

PS: I have SO running on a few of my Debian boxes. If you need
assistance getting it installed, contact me.
