octave stole my Terminal

[moc.elbban]

This is an OS X problem.  Everytime I start my terminal, it starts octave. 
And when I enter 'quit', it quits the shell.  So then, the only way I can
run commands is by typing, for example, "system('ls')".  There is nothing in
my .bashrc or .profile that is sneaky.  

Here is what happens when I start a new shell in Terminal and then check my
processes:

  I see that line "exec
'/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave'" up top.  Its a
sneaky one, can't find out who's putting it there.  Any ideas?  I'm on a
MacBook running 10.4.10.
