Re: RFA: Small fix to valops.c (value_assign)

    This causes some spurious register reads (sometimes to a invalid
    register number) on some targets when reading fields of typed registers
    that are not on the first byte of the register.

I assume that you mean that it *PREVENTS* some spurious register reads...

    +       * valops.c (value_assign): Adjust the length to take into
    +       consideration that we are not starting from the beginning.

    + 
	    * values.c (value_primitive_field): Copy VALUE_REGNO as well.
	    With typed registers we may have the location information in this field,
	    in addition to VALUE_ADDRESS (which was already being copied).

Approved.
