Thanks for noticing this.  I fixed it on the stable branch here (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/7ddb10b31126).  It will be a part of the next bug fix release 4.0.1.

Assume you have a finish.m file with the following instruction:


save myoctavesession -binary


Exit (thereby running the finish.m script before octave terminating), restart octave, and (assuming you're in the same directory as before) load this file again:


load myoctavesession


You will find that nothing has been saved.

The reason is that "finish.m" is called by _finish_.m which is a function; therefore, when "finish.m" is called, the current workspace is the empty workspace of the _finish_.m function, "not" the base workspace.

Converting the _finish_.m function to a script resolves the issue.
