current shell's bash history lost on reboot

[Dusty Mabe]

The other day during the Atomic Test Day jzb and I noticed that we
were losing bash history (seemingly randomly). Today I dug into it a 
bit more. If you reboot a machine from a bash session then you will
lose all of your history for that session. Note the following is from
the F21 Cloud image: 

[root@f21 ~]# cat .bash_history | wc -l
2
[root@f21 ~]# history | wc -l
123
[root@f21 ~]# reboot
Connection to 172.24.4.228 closed by remote host.
Connection to 172.24.4.228 closed.
[root@localhost ~(keystone_admin)]# 
[root@localhost ~(keystone_admin)]# ssh -i key1.pem
fedora(a)172.24.4.228

[fedora@f21 ~]$ 
[fedora@f21 ~]$ sudo su -
[root@f21 ~]# history | wc -l
3

Has anyone else seen this? Is there an existing bug report? 

If you guys can confirm you are having this behavior then I will open
a report. Alos please see [1] [2] where suse was having a similar problem.

I can not reproduce this in a few images I tried.

I rebooted a VM running Atomic and lost bash history, but I was unaware
that reboots were supposed to *preserve* bash history! I thought that was
expected behavior - a violent end to a process wouldn't necessarily allow
its buffers to be flushed.

Which images?

If it's gone in later images, then we can close it.

Best,

I've seen this on cloud images as well as workstation. Dusty has been
locating and compiling information on this. It's been seen quite a few
places. 

Even when I switch to zsh history info wasn't saved (did this in a RC5
cloud image locally and on EC2).
