This comes from a cygwin installation: ~$ cygcheck -V | head -n1 cygcheck (cygwin) 3.5.3 ~$ printf "%s\n" "$( bash --version | head -n1 )" GNU bash, version 5.2.21(1)-release (x86_64-pc-cygwin) ~$ history | tail -n1 | od -a 0000000 sp sp sp 4 3 sp sp h i s t o r y sp | 0000020 sp t a i l sp - n 1 sp | sp o d sp - 0000040 a nl 0000042
And this is what I've compared it against: $ printf "%s\n" "$( bash --version | head -n1 )" GNU bash, version 5.2.15(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) $ history | tail -n1 | od -a 0000000 sp 7 3 5 1 sp sp h i s t o r y sp | 0000020 sp t a i l sp - n 1 sp | sp o d sp - 0000040 a nl 0000042 Hypotheses/ideas/insights/explanations/conclusions?
