If you supply a nonexisting file or a file, which can't be created for lack of 
permissions in the respective directory with GFORTHHIST, it will try to open 
it, but failing so, not have a history.

Completely disabling requires changes to the source code.

Another question is: Should we open the history file later in the boot process, 
e.g. on entering interactive mode?  There's no need to do that earlier.
