[Coco] MESS issues

[Aaron Wolfe]

I also use MESS, find it to be the best option out there mostly do the
awesome debugger.
However, I have seen problems very much like what you describe while
working in B09 on a real coco.
Sometimes things just 'go wrong' and need a reboot, even on the real thing :)

That said, I have found that there are times when MESS does not set things up correctly, and my code begins to have errors in execution. I had just such an occurrance today. I uncommented some code in decode to allow me to print the results of the VDT and DSAT validations to a file I can look at in TextPad. Upon running it, decode was suddenly having problems sorting the variables, and errored out with a 67 error (Illegal Argument). I tried running the known good code, and got the same result. Then I exited the emulation, quit MESS and restarted it. The error went away.
