If the NODE_REPL_HISTORY file cannot be opened (i.e. read-only file system, permission issue, etc.), Node simply crashes. This is probably an uncaught "error" event.

This behavior seems silly to me. The NODE_REPL_HISTORY file is a convenience, not a requirement. Even though it can be disabled by an environment flag, if it cannot be opened, it should silently fail. Or, perhaps, NODE_REPL_HISTORY should be disabled by default?

Thoughts?

I guess it can just log you an error. I think this was brought up before?

repl: don't crash if cannot open history file
a4a0efc 
Previously, if we are unable to open the history file, an error would
be thrown. Now, print an error message that we could not open
the history file, but don't fail.
