Re[2]: history -s from inside function replaces last command rather than adding to it

[Bug Maybefound]

I assumed it must be from a more recent bash than I have since mine 
doesn’t have it:

$ help history
<snip>
      -p        perform history expansion on each ARG and display the 
result
                without storing it in the history list
      -s        append the ARGs to the history list as a single entry

    If FILENAME is given, it is used as the history file.  Otherwise,
<snip>
