Summary:                    asterisk command history loads as unusable garbage
Description: 
When using asterisk interactively with command interface a history file is
created (~/.asterisk_history). Lines written to the history file are
white-space encoded (in ast_el_write_history:history:case
H_SAVE:history_save:strvis).

But when the history file is loaded it reverse (strunvis) is not
performed.  Therefore the history becomes unusable garbage.

Rather than misread what you're being told and harassing the bug marshals,
how about we work to move this forward?  You've not answered the questions
you've been asked yet.  This is absolutely the wrong way to try to get
help.

Please describe the behavior you are seeing, and give us some information
about your platform.

I would also highly recommend going back and re-reading what jtodd and
lmadsen said.
