I did not follow the thread up until now, so I may be off base here.

Do your prompts in csh and in bash have "\r" at their beginning?
If they do, then your little program works well, but your shell
erases it (I think it is the default behavior of zsh).
Do the following experiment:
   csh% printf "test" ; sleep 1
 or
   bash$ printf "test" ; sleep 1

Does "test" appear on your screen for one second and then goes away?
