It also fails to create the .birdc_history file in the first place. Thankfully the 1.6.3 birdc still works fine, so I can continue playing for now.

Hi

Thanks for the testing and report.

It works for us on several platforms, from Debian to NetBSD.

Note that .birdc_history is created during exit from birdc, not during
start of birdc. Do you get .birdc_history if you use new birdc, do some
commands and exit from it without crashing it?

What version of readline and history libraries do you have?
