Subject: shell problem

From: relson@osage

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the [email-masked] mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Within an emacs bash shell, using "!!" to re-execute a command with
"$( ... )" in it results in a space inserted between the dollar sign
and the left paren.  The inserted space should _not_ be present.

###### Here's the dribble file ######

<escape>xshell<return>ls -l $( 0x2000020locate /.emc<backspace>acs | grep emacs$ 0x2000020)<return>!!<tab><return>exit<return> 0x4000020<escape><session.txt<return>

###### Here's the content of the *shell* window ######

relson@osage ~ $ ls -l $( locate /.emacs | grep emacs$ )
