Description

Attempting to run beeline via commandline fails with the error below due to large commands in the ~/.beeline/history file. Not sure if the problem also exists with many lines in the history or just big lines.

I had a few lines in my history file with over 1 million characters each. Deleting said lines from the history file resolved the issue.
