OK. That was my question, since that doesn't seem to happen. With your
patch (and even before), for instance, consider the following commands
on an empty history:
echo a
echo b
fc -l
fc -l 1002 1100
The first `fc' will list the echo commands. The second `fc' will list the
last command in the history, since both numbers are clamped at the end of
the history -- the range ends up being `last-last'.
