(->2606) GHCi 6.10 prints `^[[A' for [UP], `^?' for [BACKSPACE] instead of intended action

OS: Xubuntu Hardy 64 bit (no problems with GHCi 6.8.3)[[BR]] Version: GHCi 6.10.0.20081007 (standard configuration)[[BR]] Interpretation: keymapping readline? configure?

As example, the output of entering [BACKSPACE][UP] just after starting GHCi:

nick@weg:~> ghci
GHCi, version 6.10.0.20081007: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
Loading package integer ... linking ... done.
Loading package base ... linking ... done.
Prelude> ^?^[[A

Thanks for the great work... :-)
