* target.c, target.h (target_read_string): Provide error detection to
caller. Put string in malloc'd space, so caller need not impose arbitrary limits. * solib.c (find_solib): Update to use new interface. * irix5-nat.c (find_solib): Read o_path from inferior (clear_solib): Free storage for o_path. * valprint.c (val_print_string): Add comments.
