a=`win32prog.exe` bug

BASH 2.01.2
CYGWINB19.DLL v b19.3
BINARY MOUNTS
Consider the following from the bash prompt
$ a=`win32prog.exe`
The variable "a" contains the output from the program win32prog.exe which is
a win32 console application. The output also contains a trailing ^M !!!
This should not be the default behaviour, this is supposed to be emulating
unix!
Is there a way to stop this behaviour (without changing the script)?
