The history is saved in ./.bash_history. I believe that when you hit the size limit, the oldest commands are removed, rather than the entire list cleared, so if such a thing happened whenever the max number was reached, it would happen on every command, after you reached that limit. However, there's nothing to stop you from working with that file and copying it's contents etc.
I /think/ the history is saved only when you exit bash. Till that moment, the current history is in memory only, and the file holds the previous session data. What happens when you have many bash sessions opened, I do not know. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
