I have written some code that starts up a process and monitors and
controls it.  The problem is that something in the process-filter
and/or process-sentinel are causing calls to "message" (I'm not doing
it directly) which randomly trash what I'm doing in the minibuffer at
the time it happens.  How do I track this down?  Can I just eliminate
them somehow (a special form (with-messages-inhibited ...) perhaps
:-).  Any other good suggestions?

P.S.  Here's the list of all the functions I _think_ get called in the
filter/sentinel (produced by kbd-macros from the code :-):

	=	car	cdr	cond	delete-process	forward-line
	goto-char	if	insert	kill-buffer	let
	looking-at	null	or	point		point-max
	preceding-char	process-buffer	process-send-string
	replace-string	save-excursion	set-buffer
	setq	string-match	substring	while

(let ((executing-kbd-macro ""))
  ...)

Crude and undocumented, but it works.
