Yes, this version of TeX predates --help and the like, so TeX just takes
the string as input.

If you feel like updating your TeX installation, check
http://tug.org/tetex or http://tug.org/texlive.

    So I think texi2dvi should be changed to clean texput.log
    afterwards (or run tex --help in a temporary directory).

I agree, I will work on that for the next release.  Thanks.
