Could the following signal a possible string buffering problem?

Both:
cygcheck /bin/sh.exe
and
echo "$(cygcheck /bin/sh.exe)"
yield the same output:

E:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe
   E:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
         C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
         C:\WINDOWS\system32\Secur32.dll
   E:\cygwin\bin\cygintl-8.dll
     E:\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll
       E:\cygwin\bin\cyggcc_s-1.dll
   E:\cygwin\bin\cygreadline7.dll
     E:\cygwin\bin\cygncursesw-10.dll
     C:\WINDOWS\system32\USER32.dll
       C:\WINDOWS\system32\GDI32.dll

However,when I do

echo $(cygcheck /bin/sh.exe)       I get:
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\GDI32.dlllll
                               ^^^
                               ^^^
which clearly is unexpected.
