This is an unintended side-effect of Wayne's patch in 15806.  One
possible fix is appended; Wayne may have a better idea.

Even with this patch, `curline.histnum' appears occasionally to be wrong:

schaefer<507> fc -l -1 506
  506  h
schaefer<508> fc -l -1 508
fc: bad history number: 508
schaefer<509> fc -l -1 508
fc: bad history number: 508

The second of those should have succeeded, I think.
