Hello, The problem seems to have changed with 3.2-4 from lenny and 4.0 from gnu.org.
* With etch, unsetting HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE in ~/.bashrc used to work -- the whole history was being saved. Now, the file is truncated to 500 lines on startup. It's possible to workaround this issue by setting both variables to 2147483647. * I could find the limit in the advanced scripting guide only after I guessed the number. Perhaps this could be documented in the man page. * With both variables set to 2147483648 and ~/.bash_history containing some 166K lines, new bash processes hang consuming 100% of CPU time. I'd expect either support for the number, or an error message that it isn't supported.
