The off-by-one errors that occurred when running fc in non-interactive
contexts were fixed, but it's possible that the changes were too
aggressive. There's no reason that `echo $(fc -nl -1)' and `fc -nl -1'
shouldn't echo the same thing when run from the same shell -- command
substitution should inherit the history settings and history list.
See if the following patch fixes things for you.
