Details:

In the dev build, my cd commands in .octaverc are ignored. Other settings,
such as pkg load and setenv, work fine.

MWE:
--
Entry in .octaverc:

cd('/home/ericbarnhill/Documents')

output:


>>octave --no-gui
GNU Octave, version 4.1.0+
[...]
>> pwd

>> cd('/home/ericbarnhill/Documents')
>> pwd
ans = /home/ericbarnhill/Documents
