discovered something interesting while using the bash shell.  It seems
to work with tcsh so perhaps its not a bash bug at all..

anyway..  the "history" service will not pick up commands which have a
few spaces placed in front of them.

eg:
torproxy:~ # history | tail -5
   63  cd
   64  ls
   65  history
   66  echo $SHELL
   67  history | tail -5

torproxy:~ #     history | tail -6
   62  ls
   63  cd
   64  ls
   65  history
   66  echo $SHELL
   67  history | tail -5
torproxy:~ #



SLES 10 on i386.

bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.1.17(1)-release (i586-suse-linux)
