Only proper bugs deserve proper bug reports. <--original witty phrase debuting here
I'm talking about [*info* (emacs) History References]
$ emacs --no-site-file -q -nw -f shell
c a t RET ! ^ ! ^ ! ^ ! RET ESC p
One sees
$ cat
!^!^!^!
!^!^!^!
!
It has mangled my last line. I want the three lines to look the same.

To be clear, in my above example, I am not talking to the shell
anymore, but to cat. So don't bash bash. shell-mode is to blame.

no, you're barfing up the wrong tree. The shell-mode author thought
csh-style ! and ^ history substitutions were so great, he forgot to
leave a way to turn them off. Yes, not being able to type them would
indeed fix the problem, as would snipping my keyboard cable. "rm -r
dangerous??, just local-set-key "r"...
