ebrowse problems when loading a BROWSE file

ebrowse problems when loading a BROWSE file

[jromanus]

Every time I try to load my BRWOSE file I am getting errors. I have
already tried "emacs -q --no-site-file" with the same results. Here is
the output from *Messages* buffer:

UH????  Are we psychic, or something?  I posted a patch for this bug on
the emacs-devel mailing list last night.

Assuming you're on GNU Emacs 21.3, apply the following patch to your
ebrowse.el.  [If you don't know how to apply a patch, or haven't got the
patch program, say so!]
