At this point, you should be able to finish debugging by yourself.
If a close reading of your vimrc file is not enough, you can move the
second debugging line around in your vimrc file (in a binary search
pattern, if the file is large) until you find where it changes.
Look for shortened forms of "set history":
/^\s*set\=\s\+hi
and for :source'd files:
/^\s*so
/^\s*ru
In all cases, do not stop at the first match.
Of course, there is also the lazy "solution": move the line
set history=100
to the end of your vimrc files.
