Bug#845144: asterisk console scrambles (or misinterprets) input

[Thomas Renard]

Package: asterisk
Version: 1:13.12.2~dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

 * enter sudo asterisk -r to enter the console
 * type sip (or any other input)

Expected:

 * console shows "sip"

Actual behavior: It looks like this:

Connected to Asterisk 13.12.2~dfsg-1 currently running on myhost (pid =
8901)
myhost*CLI> \U+0F73\U+0F69\U+0F70

sometimes after typing return it is possible to enter a normal command
but with the next line the effect reappears.

So the console is nearly unusable.
