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.

That description is much more useful.

What terminal application are you using?  The output of `echo $TERM` would
be good too.

It seems there may be something about your system that is causing you to
see this and not others.  I have no doubt that your comment about not using
strunvis is correct, but we need to be able to reproduce this.

Is there anything you're aware of that might be considered "unusual" about
your system that could lead to reproducing this?
