Subject:	bash 2.0.2 backquoted text includes final carriage return -
	revisited
Mime-Version:	1.0

Answer:

Yes, the backquoted text from `hostname` does include the final carriage
return.
No, the version of hostname bash was picking was *not* from the cygwin
distribution.
I gather cygwin bash doesn't attempt to mediate between the DOS and Unix
conventions
in cases like this, it will strip \n and leave \r as is.
