[debian-mysql] Bug#844071: mysql-client-5.5: history file is overwritten when you use more than one instance of the mysql program

[alexander barakin (aka sash-kan)]

Package: mysql-client-5.5
Version: 5.5.50-0+deb8u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

steps to reproduce the problem:

1. run two instances of the mysql program in the two shells:
 $ MYSQL_HISTFILE=/tmp/h mysql
 $ MYSQL_HISTFILE=/tmp/h mysql
2. execute some command in first instance, for example "1;"
3. exit the first instance. you will see the line "1;" in /tmp/h
4. execute another command in second instance, for example "2;"
5. exit the second instance.

expected result:
two lines in /tmp/h: "1;" and "2;"

instead we get:
one line in /tmp/h: "2;"
