Dear Maintainer,

the command "emacs FILENAME", with extended characters in FILENAME,
causes the X-server to crash immediately.

xdm.log contains:

  Sun Mar 17 01:43:04 2019 xdm info (pid 7547): sourcing
  /etc/X11/xdm/Xreset
  XIO:  fatal IO error 4 (Interrupted system call) on X server ":0"
        after 19 requests (13 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
        (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.


To reproduce, type "emacs $(echo -e \\xE4)" in an X-terminal.

This does not happen in the console.

Also, if emacs --daemon is running," emacsclient -c FILENAME" works
fine.

I put Severity:grave, because of the potential data loss.
