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.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
But, despite what you say about strvis and the encoded string not being
used, this is what is in my asterisk history file:

<pre>
_HiStOrY_V2_
dadhi\040show\040status
dahdi\040show\040status
quit
dahdi\040show\040status
quit
core\134040set
core\134\134040set
quit
<pre>

So how has that encoding happened?
