For crying out loud, why is this so hard to understand? It isn't rocket science. I said that when I exit the CLI and re-enter, no matter what my previous set of commands was, when I hit the UP arrow key, it was always 'stop now'. 'Stop now' WAS NOT MY PREVIOUS COMMAND.

For the person that suggested maybe unknown commands are not added to the history...

hera*CLI> show channels
Channel              Location             State   Application(Data)             
0 active channels
0 active calls
hera*CLI> sip show channels
Peer             User/ANR    Call ID      Seq (Tx/Rx)  Form  Hold     Last Message   
0 active SIP channels
hera*CLI> 
(I Pressed Ctrl-c here)

Connected to Asterisk 1.2.9.1 currently running on hera (pid = 18149)
Verbosity is at least 3
hera*CLI> stop now (I pressed the up arrow key here)

As you can see, my previous commands where 'show channels' and 'sip show channels'. When I exited the CLI and re-entered and pressed ctrl-c, the commands in the history where not 'show channels and 'sip show channels' but 'stop now' instead.
