All sorts of things go wrong with the file system if AI is down.
Presumably this should be all straightened out one day.  The current
screw is that in ZWEI I want to type C-X C-W MC:FOO;BAR BAZ <return>,
but typing C-X C-W causes it to try to calculate the default file
name, and it blows up trying to get the HSNAME from AI.  It can't
tell that intended to tell it MC anyway.  I got around it by
disassembling a lot of functions (can't look at the source code,
of course) and determining that I should clobber SI:LAST-FILE-DEVICE
or whatever it is called to "MC".
