[Coco] mess HD problem

[Bob Devries]

Hi Robert.

I am using messui v0154, dated 23 July 2014

My two vhd files are images of my two *real* coco3 drives. Size-wise, 
they are identical; both are quantum LPS-120s.

Both drives are formatted entirely for NitrOS9.
I boot NitrOS9 from a floppy image which has emudsk, /DD, /H0 and /H1
I'm using the stock Coco3 rom images and disk 1.1 image.

If I go to another window (/W7), and type chd /h1 and then dir, and then 
go back to the /term screen (which is logged to /DD) and type dir, I get 
the contents of /H1 shown, and I cannot get back to the /DD or /H0 
drive. chd /DD returns without error, but doesn't change the directory.

It seems that either mess or emudsk is forgetting which drive it is 
logged to.
