Thanks, for checking, I'm closing the bug.

It's about the remote host. Honestly, my router in the basement doesn't
know Emacs. And there's no .emacs.d/ directory.

Package: emacs
Version: 25.0.50
Severity: important

Current master on RHEL 7.1.

ls -l ~/.bash_history
-rw-------. 1 gm gm 724950 Apr 27 17:10 /home/gm/.bash_history

make -C test/automated tramp-tests
   ...
   "Ran 41 tests, 41 results as expected..."

ls -l ~/.bash_history
-rw-------. 1 gm gm 29 Apr 27 17:11 /home/gm/.bash_history


!

This is repeatable.

(Haven't checked if that is actually the cause.)
Does not happen with emacs-24.

Yes, I have backups. :)
