In bash, ^P puts the cursor at the same spot where it was (when we hit
RET) last command. In emacs shell mode, M-p (comint-previous-input)
always puts the cursor at the end of the line, no matter what. Perhaps
it could be made to be like bash... at least for the latest previous
command.

I tried this on Debian Stale now, and C-p didn't do that.  Perhaps you
have a special setting?

I think that sounds like a slightly confusing feature, so I'm closing
this bug report.
