Package: bash
Version: 3.1dfsg-8
Severity: normal

Bash doesn't correctly unquote !-characters inside "-quoted strings when
passing the arguments to commands.

For example:

   echo "\!"            # prints \!
   echo \!              # prints !

Interestignly enough, other parts of bash corerctly unquote the !
character, for example, when pressing tab on the first echo command
converts to the second form when a ! file exists:

   echo "\!"<tab> =>
   echo \!
