Zoltan and Peter have sent fixes for this in
archive/latest/373 (also in 337)
archive/latest/376
respectively.
Please try to incorparate these in beta11, Richard. For those of us
who are exec'ing the latest betas out of a startup script it's very
unpleasant to lose your history each time you log in. It's very
difficult to do my real work without history, consequently I haven't
been stress testing the baseline betas since this bug appeared.
