--------
The default athena ~/.bashrc sources /usr/athena/lib/init/bashrc.
This bashrc will source ~/.bash_environment (Line 129), but then
clobber HISTSIZE later down the script (Line 187).
I consider this to be a bug because the right place to set HISTSIZE is
in ~/.bash_environment . A workaround is to set it in ~/.bashrc.mine .
(This is regarding an OLC question which I believe will soon be resolved.)
