Please check out the following FAQ on this subject.
http://www.gnu.org/software/fileutils/doc/faq/core-utils-faq.html#I%20am%20having%20a%20problem%20with%20kill
You are probably not executing /bin/echo but rather the shell built in
echo.
type -all echo
echo is a shell builtin
echo is /bin/echo
echo --version
--version
/bin/echo --version
echo (GNU sh-utils) 2.0
