Comment(by ferrouswheel):

 I wonder if there shouldn't be a wrapper method for updating the History
 object.

 Doing a grep for the offending line:

 grep -r sprintf\(hist.dat *

 Shows the following modules making unsafe assumptions about map name
 length: r.buffer, r.carve, r.random, r.recode, r.slope.aspect, r.sunmask,
 and the simwe modules.
