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.

A question - why is your name, Marguis, annotated as being the "reporter"? 
My name also bears that label and both cannot be "reporter" for this bug
surely?

And to seanbright:
   - why use egrep when grep would do?
   - and why use the -r flag on a single file? You cannot recurse a file.
   - and why use the -i flag when to locate the exact string 'strvis'?
I am ignoring your request, seanbright (manager?!), because it seems so
badly constructed, displays a poor understanding of grep/egrep, and really
serves absolutely no purpose what-so-ever because I have already indicated
which version of asterisk is involved.  Do you seriously expect to discover
something different to what shows in svn or the current source.

BTW I would venture to suggest that asterisk's instability derives from
"too many hands" as evidenced in this thread, and from the lack of a single
strong developer or two who take effective/dominant ownership of the
source.
