Bug#281690: asterisk: old command in history are not usable because spaces are not preserved correctly

[root]

Package: asterisk
Version: 1:1.0.2-2
Severity: normal

Hello,
when exiting from asterisk, it saves the history so that the next time I
connect to the console (for example with asterisk -r) I can use older
commands pressing the up arrow.

The command history is not well retrieved, for example if my last
command was "restar now", when I reconnect to asterisk and press the up
key I get "restart\040now".

I suppose there is some problem interpreting the space.

Alex
