Password that contains !

A friend of mine is using password authentication with ssh and his
password ends with an "!" (exclamation mark). He accidentally left it of
but ssh still authenticated him. So I tried adding an ! when prompted
for my password and it authenticated me too, even though there is no !
in my password. Is this a bug?
