Error handling would be better, but this is a workaround.

You can add a space before a command to avoid adding it to the history.

 mv /path/to/corrupted/history/file /path/to/corrupted/history/file_corrupted
# Recover history file.
strings /path/to/corrupted/history/file_corrupted > /path/to/corrupted/history/file

Notice the space before mv.
