I think this may happen  if you include  functions in a script file as
described in the "Script Files" section in  the manual. Function files
should be automatically updated,  unless in "system dicrectories" like
"OCTAVE-HOME/share/octave/VERSION/m".  

In the section  "Function Files" of  the manual is  described when the
functions are updated.
