Bug Description
Attempting to run "q!" (yes, I was wrong-window typing vim commands into bash) causes:
q!: command not found
malloc: /usr/homes/
realloc: start and end chunk sizes differ
Aborting.
Occurs with any single letter followed by !, or a lone !. Does not occur with ! followed by one or more characters.
It is not the command-not-found package (removing that was my first diagnosis attempt). I don't really know what else to try.
It happens on the two Trusty Tahr servers available to me, but not Saucy or earlier.

I received a core dump when trying to recreate this bug. The crash should result in a .crash file in /var/crash/ and then an apport dialog offering to file the bug. It'd be great if you could submit the automatic crash report for this and then we can mark this bug as a duplicate of that one. Thanks in advance.
