FWIW, I've re-written this in r42695.

The fields of "struct History" are now dynamically allocated, rather
than fixed-size arrays, so RECORD_LEN and MAXEDLINES no longer exist. 

Also, set/get functions are provided, eliminating the need to access
the structure fields directly.

Code which simply truncated strings to RECORD_LEN now stores the
complete string. Code which breaks long strings into multiple lines
has been preserved.
