According to the man page for echo, --help and --version will both 
generate information from the echo command itself. However, in 
accoring-to-the-man-page version 2.0 (included with RH 7.0), issuing the 
command "echo --help" results in the output of "--help", and the command 
"echo --version" results in the output of "--version".

Examining the binary, the expected output appears to be embedded within, 
just not displayed.

I'm pretty sure this behavior is an actual bug, and not a user error. I'd 
appreciate if someone could confirm or deny this.

Cheers,

Mischa.
