Yup.  How odd -- just `M-p'-ing after "cat <(date)" does the right
thing, and "!!" does the right thing, but `M-p' after "!!" mangles
spaces?

I had a brief look at the code here
(`comint-replace-by-expanded-history-before-point' etc), but I'm pretty
unfamiliar with this code, and it wasn't immediately clear where the
problem stems from.

Anybody have any ideas?
