crashes

 Two machines:  receiving machine: joyride-2263, G1G1 MP
                sending machine:   update.1-690, B4 prototype
 Simple Mesh scenario, no school server.

 Both machines are on Mesh channel 1.  Same setup as #7955.
 I started Chat on sending machine.  I used its menu to set it to "Share
 with: My Neighborhood".  On the receiving machine, I saw the Chat in the
 Neighborhood screen, and started it, and was chatting along fine.  Then
 the battery ran out on the receiving machine.  It crashed.  The sending
 machine noticed the crash and reported that the receiving machine "left
 the chat".

 When I brought the receiving machine back up, and put it back on Mesh
 channel 1, it couldn't see the Chat that the other machine still claims to
 be offering to the neighborhood.  The Chat does not appear in the
 Neighborhood screen, nor in the Group screen, on either machine any more!
 But the menu at the top of the Chat Activity still says that it's shared
 with My Neighborhood.

 Fix:  Either the shared chat ought to still appear in both machines'
 network and group views (preferred).  Or, if the UI designer decides that
 when all but one participant of a shared Chat disappears, it should go
 back to being unshared, then the "Share With: My Neighborhood" ought to
 change back to "Private".
