If $SAVEHIST is greater than $HISTSIZE and the file that you're editing was
non-empty before, then after editing there could still be more than $HISTSIZE
lines in the file. In that event you'd read in the last $HISTSIZE of those
lines, pushing the entire current history out.
In other words, you only see the effect you were seeing when the number of
lines in the file is less than or equal to $HISTSIZE.
