octave-4.0.1 strange echo

[Marco Atzeri]

I just built from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave/octave-4.0.1.tar.xz

plus adapted two 2 patches
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/8e5eca2c5a64
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/2ee20a290d61

and now i see a copy of
/usr/share/octave/4.0.1/m/startup/__finish__.m
any time I require a "echo on" and exit.


$ octave-cli --eval "echo on"

I doubt it is a an effect of the two patches, but could anyone
check on a clean octave-4.0.1 build ?

Thanks in advance
