Hello,

I've set my HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE to 200000 since ten years or so, and had tens
of thousands of lines in .bash_history.

Today I noticed the .bash_history file is truncated to 380 lines from many years ago
+ my commands from yesterday.

The variables are unchanged, I often use tmux, I often update, I updated yesterday,
Debian 11.1.

Any idea how this happened? It never happened before.

cheers,
Paul
