Hello,

This seems to be a bug and is more strange than worrying but I'm getting 
an extra space in the output of R --help. One of the two dashes options 
has a space between the 1st and the 2nd dash.
This one:

-  -max-connections=N   Set max number of connections to N


See also the attached PNG file.

I have tested with the command window maximized or not and it is always 
there.
