"octave -q script.m > a_file" creates an extra character

[etienne at isr.ist.utl.pt]

   Hi All,

not reproducible for me (Octave 3.0.3, Linux 2.6.18 CentOS) :

[etienne at pastis TyzxGLModif] cat > script.m
1;

printf("A line");
[etienne at pastis TyzxGLModif] octave -q script.m > a_file
[etienne at pastis TyzxGLModif] cat a_file
A line[etienne at pastis TyzxGLModif] od -bc a_file
0000000 101 040 154 151 156 145
           A       l   i   n   e
0000006
[etienne at pastis TyzxGLModif] octave --version
GNU Octave, version 3.0.3
