[Bug] - MariaDB 11.8 client creates `.mariadb_histor` instead of `.mariadb_history`

[925dk]

Amazon Linux 2023
mariadb118-11.8.8-1.amzn2023.0.1.aarch64
libedit-3.1-38.20210714cvs.amzn2023.0.2

The MariaDB client creates and uses an incorrect history file:

Expected:
~/.mariadb_history

Actual:
~/.mariadb_histor

Evidence:
strace shows:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/mka/.mariadb_histor", O_RDONLY)

Binary contains:
%s/.mariadb_history

This looks like a 1-byte truncation when constructing the history filename.

Thanks for reporting this. It looks like a bug in the mariadb client code, so we'll work with the upstream maintainers to get it fixed.

This also appears to affect the latest mariadb114 RPM too

For now, one workaround could be to explicitly set the environment variable export MARIADB_HISTFILE="$HOME/.mariadb_history" with the correct name and path.
