Describe the bug

When I call eth_getTransactionByHash with rpc cheatcode, always got an error [Revert] panic: memory allocation error (0x41).

A minimal reproducible example is the following:

pragma solidity ^0.8.13;

import {Test, console} from "forge-std/Test.sol";

contract RPCTest is Test {
    function test_fail_rpc_transactionByHash() public {
        string memory res = getTransactionByHash();
        console.log(res);
    }

    // https://sepolia.etherscan.io/tx/0xe1a0fba63292976050b2fbf4379a1901691355ed138784b4e0d1854b4cf9193e
    function getTransactionByHash() internal returns (string memory) {
        string memory param = string.concat('["0xe1a0fba63292976050b2fbf4379a1901691355ed138784b4e0d1854b4cf9193e"]');
        bytes memory res = vm.rpc("eth_getTransactionByHash", param);
        return string(res);
    } 
}

The execution result of forge test is the following:

$ forge test -vvvv --rpc-url https://ethereum-sepolia-archive.allthatnode.com --match-test test_fail

@DaniPopes It looks like this is due to encoded objects which results in a reverted call

should we return to_string here?
