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.

Given that I have already patched asterisk I will have so go from memory:

Something like:

> core\040\040set\040debug

Instead of

> core set debug

But after exiting and starting again it becomes:

> core\040\040\040set\040\040\040debug

or worse.

But you have to go back in history immediately after entering asterisk
command-line.  Current history is always ok.  Only history retrieved from
~/.asterisk_history.

Please ... this is really simple.  Just inspecting the code will lead to
to the problem!
