(send-to-emacs): Put back WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS* -- not sure exactly what it's for, but I had no actual reason to remove it so I probably broke something!
The without-interrupts ensures that we don't write partial sexps to the Emacs buffer. If Lisp receives a SIGINT before the expression is completely written, we enter the debugger and send some debugger messages to the stream, but Emacs will not be able to parse it correctly.
Thanks for the explanation -- makes perfect sense.
