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.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
I repeat: for the echo test I get "\040" from a recent install of "fedora
12" on the console screen (tty1) with TERM set to "linux".

In any case, asterisk has a bug whereby it does not reverse the encoding
effect that it performs when saving the history file.  You already know
this.

It really doesn't matter what exactly is masking the bug from you ... you
have indirect evidence that under certain conditions the bug is apparent.

Why waste everyone's time ... just patch the fix!
