Setting the value of a field using TargetClass.SetField doesn't seem to work.
Test case:

using System;

namespace SimpleTest
{
    class MainClass
    {
        string someField = "hi";

        public static void Main (string[] args)
        {
            string someLocal = "one";
            MainClass c = new MainClass ();
            Console.WriteLine (c.someField);
        }
    }
}

Debug session:

  13             Console.WriteLine (c.someField);
(mdb) p someLocal
(string) "one"
(mdb) p someLocal="two"
(string) "two"
(mdb) p someLocal
(string) "two"
(mdb) p c.someField
(string) "hi"
(mdb) p c.someField="bye"
(string) "bye"
(mdb) p c.someField
(string) "hi"
(mdb) 

This debug session shows that changing the value of a local variable works, but
doing the same with a field doesn't work.
