Allthough I'm not familiar with the particular problem you
described, I observed that the history sometimes (!) does
not survive a reboot. It may have to do with a situation
where more than one shell is running. Idea: The last shell
closed (even forced) saves its history, so the history of
the other shells gets lost.

I've set those globally in /etc/csh.cshrc:

	set history = 100
	set savehist = 100

Sometimes, history survives, sometimes it doesn't. Very
strange...
