EFS 1.14 bug: wrong mode with `manual-entry'

To whom it may concern:

When using efs, buffers created by `manual-entry' end up being in
`View' mode instead of `Manual' mode.

The exact sequence from the start:

I start xemacs with
	xemacs -no-site-file &

My .emacs has the lines: (the same without load "man")

(load "man")
(setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "~/emacs/efs-1.14") load-path))
(require 'efs)
(setq inhibit-default-init t)

I type
	M-x manual entry RET grep RET

*man grep* is in View mode instead of Manual mode.

Emacs  : XEmacs 19.13 of Sun Sep 17 1995 on chopin (usg-unix-v) [formerly Lucid Emacs]
Package: efs

efs believes that the host type of -- is unknown.
