If I type !( and magic-space, the line expands to the last command starting
with "(" and I can hit return to execute it.

If I type !( and return, I get an error: "Too many ('s.".  It should
do a history lookup.

This happens in both athena versions of tcsh (RT/VAX "tcsh classic"
and Athena-hacked Cornell tcsh on an RS/6000).
