It seems all your sessions use the same history file; one of them adds
to it, making the other's current pointer into it invalid.

It is easy to fix: just define HISTFILE=.hist$HOST$TTY in your .profile
(make sure $TTY and $HOST are defined first, of course).  I do not use
it since it's sometime useful to keep history around from other sessions;
just pressing RETURN every now and then makes sure a session re-reads
the history file, so it does not stay behind too much.
