Perhaps someone knows how to solve this problem:

I just installed the ebuttons package posted in alt.sources. It allows
to activate emacs functions via a menu-like X window (which always
sits on the desktop). To use it for commands with arguments, I
configured it to explicitly use the 'command-execute' function. This
worked fine until I used C-g to abort a command. Emacs crashed with
the usual gigantic core file.

What happens in detail:

The ebuttons program runs as a subprocess started by 'start-process'.
It uses an input filter associated with 'set-process-filter'.
The filter uses 'eval' to evaluate what is coming in.
The input is e.g. "(command-execute 'goto-line)".

Thus it results by doing
  (eval '(command-execute 'goto-line))
in the input filter of the process. This works fine. It displays the
usual prompt in the minibuffer and reads the line number. However,
when I enter C-g in the minibuffer, emacs crashes!

I tried 
  (eval '(let ((inhibit-quit t)) (command-execute 'goto-line)))
but it did not help.

I am using GNU Emacs 18.58 on a HP9000 under HP-UX 8.??, but I don't
think that matters a lot.

Thanks for any suggestion.
