hist file seems to be deleted

[Toralf Förster]

Hello,

I'm using bash :

tfoerste@n22 ~ $ bash --version
bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.17(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"


and have the following settings:


tfoerste@n22 ~ $ env | grep HIST
HISTSIZE=10000
HISTFILESIZE=10000

which works fine - I can access even commands from some month ago.
But It seems, that the history file is
truncated to zero some days ago :-(, please have a look at tese values:

tfoerste@n22 ~ $ wc .bash_history
  606  1630 13854 .bash_history

B/c I observed this in the last years only some times I'm not sure whether
it is a general bug or if it happens only under some rare conditions.
