Description:
Under CygWin
GNU bash, version 3.2.33(18)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
does not work the commandline history of mysql.exe.

History of commands in CygWin's bash works well.

How to repeat:
Start bash from CygWin,
start mysql.exe,
write command e.g. show databases;
press UpArrow

Previous command should appear, but nothings happen.
