I have seen this today too, with my normal user account under X (debian lenny | kernel 2.6.22.1). I use a crypted ext3 file system.

I worked in Eterm, and suddenly my history of the Eterm session was cut off (only the last 500 commands | LIMIT of the bash_history is 50.000) I think that Eterm has overwrite the old history with the cut one,

Sorry my bad English, i hope you understood me.
