--- Comment #7 from patrick at parcs dot ath.cx ---
The next version of GDB will no longer read HISTSIZE at all because doing so
causes more problems than it solves. Instead GDBHISTSIZE is read for the same
purpose. And for good measure, the behavior of GDBHISTSIZE will match how bash
reads HISTSIZE, so setting GDBHISTSIZE to -1 will cause GDB's history size to
be unlimited.
Hope these changes are sensible. Let us know if you disagree.
