You haven't said how to reproduce this (all I've seen is above), but
there are now lots tests in savehistfile() in hist.c for failure to
write and one of them is being overzealous. Possibly ret is being set
to -1 without errno being set by the corresponding call, but it sounds
like there's more to it than that. This should be easy enough to track
down if you can get it to happen.
