I was mainly wanting to check that the bytecode compiler didn't go down 
in flames and take the rest of GDB with it.  :-)  Now that we have 
tracepoints in GDBserver, this would be better as a live test of 
on-target expression evaluation; it might not be too hard to set up a 
standard test proc that captures each expression result and compares 
with expected value.
