Hi,

I've reported this problem (or a very similar one) here: https://github.com/tcsh-org/tcsh/issues/41

Subject: [Tcsh] History merging bug?

Hello,

The manual says his about the savehist variable:

> If the second word is set to ‘merge’, the history list is merged
> with the existing history file instead of replacing it (if there is
> one) and sorted by time stamp and the most recent events are retained.

If I have:

    set history=(1024) savehist=(1024 merge)

then the most recent events always disappear (not saved in ~/.history).

If I have:

    set history=(1024) savehist(2048 merge)

then the new events are getting added to ~/.history, although I wonder
if it keeps working after ~/.history has reached 2048 entries in size.

Anyone else having an issue with this?

Cheers,
+ Kimmo
