Hm. ktrace shows this happening:
23279 psql CALL open(0x302d70,0x601,0x1b6)
23279 psql NAMI "/dev/null"
23279 psql RET open 3
23279 psql CALL fchmod(0x3,0x180)
23279 psql RET fchmod -1 errno 1 Operation not permitted
23279 psql CALL close(0x3)
23279 psql RET close 0
23279 psql CALL write(0x2,0xbffff180,0x44)
23279 psql GIO fd 2 wrote 68 bytes
"could not save history to file "/dev/null": Operation not permitted
"
23279 psql RET write 68/0x44
23279 psql CALL exit(0)
There's probably no way to get Apple's libedit to not try the fchmod,
so what do we want to do here? Maybe special-case the string
"/dev/null"?
If this is OK, I can up with a patch that special cases /dev/null as a
HISTFILE if libedit is found.
