Bash Version: 4.4
Patch Level: 23
Release Status: release

Description:
        `history -d` doesn't check for "history position out of range" until 
bash returns to prompt

Repeat-By:
        find number of last history line:  `history|tail -n1`
        `history|tail -n4; while history -d $NUM_LAST_LINE; do sleep 0.1; echo 
-n .; done`
        abort ^C
        run again
        compare to a single `history -d $(( NUM_LAST_LINE + 1 )); echo $?`

Fix:
        bash needs to check for pointer out of range *immediately* 
        before each `history -d` using the *true* recent length of 
        internal history list and throw error accordingly
