It seems there is a a platform dependent bug somewhere:

> HISTSIZE=$(((3**15))
echo $HISTSIZE
1000000000000000
--- but you have no history...

Setting HISTFILESIZE to 2147483647 gives you 68 years of history at
one command per seconds
(I hope I got my math right)
with say 5 chars per commands it's something like 5GB of history.
