Try the following:
echo $(echo hello | cat)
If that remains empty, (it should of course result in 'hello') you're
suffering from the same problem I have. And no, I did not get it resolved.
In which case I'd be elated if you could get anyone interested in finding a
solution!
If this happens to you, too, then the problem is that the pipe in a
subshell simply does not work. For the vast majority, it DOES work.
