Subject: 24.3.91; Error during redisplay prevent quitting.

Hi,

we have an issue in helm that prevent quitting with C-g and return a
error:

Error during redisplay: (eval (helm-show-candidate-number [...]

With this version of emacs (24.3.91) it is usable because I let-bounded
`pre-redisplay-function' to nil, but the message is still here, with
Emacs-24.4.50, quitting is nearly impossible, and the message contain
byte-code.
With emacs-24.3 it is working normally.
This is relatively recent.

This is happening when hitting C-g on a helm command that use an async
process, but only on the helm-locate command.

Another strange thing is when hitting C-g on a long helm-grep process,
C-g works normally but return "Emacs-lisp:" in the minibuffer when done.

To reproduce:(best from emacs-24.4.50)

1) install helm from git: 
   git-clone https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm.git
2) cd to helm
3) run make
4) ./emacs-helm.sh
5) C-x c l
6) Enter something in minibuffer (e.g "emacs") that lead to a long
   search and hit C-g (repeat to really quit).
7) Look the "Message" buffer so see error.
   The error is coming from safe_eval_handler in xdisp.c.

See Issue here for more details:

Thanks.
