You didn't say what the "newer" version is, but here are some general 
suggestions:

1. Read the excellent FAQ and getting started guide.  They tell you how to 
adjust the status bar.

2. Make sure you don't have any autoload scripts which could cause this 
behavior.  I know this seems obvious, but perhaps a new script was installed 
in your autorun directory.

3. Finally, try these commands:

/statusbar off
/save

If you don't want to turn it completely off, try this:

/help statusbar

You probably don't want to set it for a dumb terminal for a number of 
reasons and that isn't really necessary anyway.
