Bug-Description:

Bash-4.4 changed the way the history list is initially allocated to reduce
the number of reallocations and copies.  Users who set HISTSIZE to a very
large number to essentially unlimit the size of the history list will get
memory allocation errors 

Patch (apply with `patch -p0'):
