And indeed, this fixes it and persistent history still works! \o/ Clemens PS: for your records (again) - this machine run Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS in a (mostly) vanilla fashion. I just installed libreadline6-dbg to help with this case. So the same problem/solution *should* apply on other machines as well!?
