Global variable not staying set, maybe caused by fork()

Global variable not staying set, maybe caused by fork()

I'm trying to write a very very simple unix shell in C, and I have the
basics of what I need working, except support for a history command. I
have a global 2D char array that holds the history of all entered
commands. Commands are added before the fork() system call, and I was
originally printing out the value of the history global array after
strings were added, and they were printing out correctly, so I'm not sure
why it doesn't print out when the command "history" is used at the shell.
Thank to anyone who takes a look.
