FYI, I can't access this bug.  I am told "You are not authorized to
access bug #696148."

Compared with value_cstring, the difference is that expect_type is used
here, while type used in value_cstring is got from lookup_array_range_type.

struct type *stringtype
    = lookup_array_range_type (char_type, lowbound, highbound + lowbound
- 1);

Any difference on these two type variables (expect_type vs. stringtype)?
