Committed a fix.  Good call, by the way, you hit the patch on the nose.

The problem (and the reason that sending C-j RET made it work) was that
between 1.315 and 1.316, a subtle code rearrangement meant that the
newline was added after the input was decided on to send to the Lisp,
not before.

I also fixed multiple separate lines of input (as in multiple calls to
READ-LINE) with no output in between them so that when called up by
putting point on an old line and hitting RET, you only get that one
line, and hitting RET in the middle of the current line sends it
properly.

(This also fixes the bug report I made about the SBCL TTY debugger not
working.)
