"Extra" new line characters in history w/ R 2.9.1

Hi All, I recently upgraded to R 2.9.1 on my MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.5.7. Previously, at the command prompt in the GUI the up arrow key scrolled through the history. This still works for me, but every time I scroll up the previous command gets an extra new line character appended to it. I've attached a screen shot showing what happens when I repeatedly use a single stroke of the up arrow to recall the previous command. This is trivial, but makes using the history rapidly more challenging because you have to delete though a bunch of whitespace when trying to edit previously used commands. This changed immediately after I upgraded to 2.9.1. Does anyone know if something in R/GUI changed, or if I just had a setting that I don't know about altered when I upgraded?
It seems that your preferences may have changed because the GUI didn't change in 2.9.1 - make sure you have "Cleanup history entries" enabled in Preferences->Startup->History. Cheers, Simon
