[Coco] NitrOS-9 RBF issue?

[Roger Taylor]

First, let me mention that my own CoCoNetRBF is in use and that my 
CoCoNet server on the PC is showing to be in idle mode when this happens:

I have /dd /d0-/d3 defined as CoCoNet wireless drives.

I can do stuff on /dd with no problems:
save tmode    <--  save some module to see if it appears on the 
disk,  yep it's there
del somefile   <-- deletes the file as expected

chd /d1
save tmode
NOS9 locks up at this point, not frozen but as if asleep.  You can 
hit the Clear key and see the cursor flicker each time.  The server 
shows that the CoCo never sent a Write Sector Request, but the last 
thing it read was drive 1 sector 5 which shows to be the . and .. 
directory entries for the root directory.
Virtual Disk 1 is formatted for 320 tracks, 1 side, (1.44 meg)

I tried the same thing for /d3 and NOS-9 froze as well.  Again, the 
keyboard is responsive... so this is not a 6551 trapped loop issue.
All I've changed is the boot module, removed the 1773 RBF module and 
replaced it with CoCoNetRBF, and replaced /d0-/d3 with the CoCoNetRBF 
versions, so no physical drives are possible in this test copy of NitrOS-9.

Now, format /d1 works well.  Yep, wipes the virtual disk clean and 
doing a dir shows 5760 sectors, 5748 free sectors, works every time, 
but no SAVE is working or something like :  echo 
hello >/d1/test     causes the lockup, too.

What's going on here?
