He probably went out for lunch and Chucky grabbed the keyboard. I
believe the above is not true (and we don't want it to be true).

If you write a '1' into 'shared' you get a copy of the original DCSS and
can write into the memory. When you write a '0' into it before you
issued the SAVESEG command you lose all the changes you made and you get
the shared pages again. If someone else also obtained a non-shared copy
to make changes and saved it, then my understanding is that you get the
new segment in shared mode rather than the one you started with
initially. That's probably what you meant to have.
