I have absolutely no idea - no surprises there - but to my delight, when I run it it prints11 fO&vO/e .. except that instead of 'O' I get one of those machine code emoticons that I would render with <font face="wingdings">K</font> except I can't owing to circs beyond my control. I find this pleasantly inexplicable. Someone must know what's going on, and I'd love to know what.

"/e: Event not found," looks like a shell response -- if
you are using the wrong kind of quotes or forgetting
quotes altogether. Bash gives me
"bash: !/e": event not found" -- which is a bit more
helpful. The shell fails to expand the metacharacter '!'
(Of course, bash accepts either quotes, which
is also kinda helpful.)
The second time -- did you do this with some shell function
to recall previous command (arrow-up or C-p or whatever)?
If so, perhaps the results of the '!!' are remembered as
well, perhaps mangled by the subsequent failure?
Let me guess -- did your previous command look
something like "vi freakA"? :-)
