I've no more idea what it can be. According to bash
(and other shells I looked at), `command` and
$(command) are equivalent for command substitution.
The second form is the newer. So I can only recommand
you to always use $(...) instead of `...` in all your
commands, it should be strictly the same thing.
If someone know why the shell act as this, I'm also
insterested, as I never see it before.
Sorry to cannot do more for you.
