And what is $(VERSION_TXT)? Can you show the contents of that file
here? Also, what is the shell used by Make on your system?
FWIW, I cannot reproduce this with the following minimal Makefile:
VERSION_TXT = version.txt
VERSION_STRING = $(shell cat $(VERSION_TXT))
all:
echo $(VERSION_STRING)
However, my cat.exe is from GnuWin32 site, not from unxutils. I'm not
sure if this matters. I tried the above Makefile both with a native
Windows port of zsh and with SHELL=cmd.exe, which causes Make 3.81 to
invoke CMD. Make didn't crash in either case.

Thanks for the analysis, I will look into this.
