I had the same problem. IRB uses (for whatever obscure reason) 
finalizers to do the saving. Now finalizers are not guaranteed to be 
run. And that's exactly what happens.
I wrote a fix for my save-history.rb, but I'm not sure how clean it is. 
Anyway, for now it solves my problem and I'll share it with you. Hope it 
helps you too:

I put it into /opt/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/irb/ext/save-history.rb, 
you may have to change the /opt/local/lib part to where your ruby's lib 
path is.
