i had this "problem" once before myself. i believe it is your
prompt that is masking the output. for example:
Trout-871:~> echo -n foo p0 02/17/96 23:11
Trout-872:~> echo -n foo; echo p0 02/17/96 23:11
foo
Trout-873:~> echo -n foo; notacommand p0 02/17/96 23:11
foozsh: command not found: notacommand
Trout-874:~> bob=`echo -n foo` p0 02/17/96 23:11
Trout-875:~> echo $bob p0 02/17/96 23:11
foo
Trout-876:~>
please pardon my excessive prompt.
