Hi,

The following code causes an assertion failure in 2.3.3. Create two files, `bug.rb` and `not_frozen.rb`:

bug.`rb`:

~~~ ruby
s = 'abc'.freeze

def s.something; end rescue nil

require_relative 'not_frozen'
~~~

`not_frozen.rb`:

~~~ ruby
'abc'
~~~

And then run `ruby bug.rb`

The output is:

~~~
Assertion failed: (RBASIC_CLASS(ret) == rb_cString), function register_fstring, file string.c, line 327.
~~~

Searching for the error message I see that this exact issue (#12923) has been fixed for Ruby 2.4.0 - please can this fix be back-ported to Ruby 2.3?

Thanks,
Owen.
