Question about the 'read' command in bash

I have a bash shell script with the following lines of code:
#!/bin/bash
uname | cut -c1-4 | read op_sys
echo $op_sys
This works fine at work using SGI IRIX and ksh, but under cygwin and bash
at home, op_sys does not get set - null is echoed.. what do I need to do
differently?
thanks,
Jeff
