maybe it has something to do with resetting $HOME so .bash_history is
placed in the $MAPSET dir?

e.g. I see that csh in lib/init/init.sh does:

csh|tcsh)
    USERHOME="$HOME"      # save original home
    HOME="$LOCATION"
    export HOME
    cshrc="$HOME/.cshrc"
...


the bash version  has "# restore user home path", but I don't see that
in the csh section. (perhaps I'm looking past it)

Anyone on Mac who created their user acc't prior to OSX 10.2 will have
csh as their default shell (even if you've upgraded the rest of the
system).

So maybe the broken $HOME happens when the shell is csh?
