That was a little bug in the German translation.  In fact, the 
trailing "\n? " in the "console opening" string should really be 
kept separate from the translatable part, but I won't change that 
right now to avoid messing up the other translations.

I'm talking about

N_("gretl console: type 'help' for a list of commands\n? ");

The translation has to keep the final space.
