The good query. Take a look to the /bin/login script, yes: *script*.
This is a wrapper script, designed to emulate the "login" program.
It exec the "ile" command; the "ile" command run the shell
interpreter on the top. The history support is from the "ile" utility.

This happens if you used once "pion" as "root". Maybe, if you remove
the /tmp contents, it will works. Be aware: most scripts in muLinux
doesn't work as normal user, because scripting requires the root power.

Anyway, mixed environment do not help, as you may guest, because what
you are doing is not reproducible.
