Dired 7.9 bug: characterp [dired.el] -- UNDEFINED in Emacs 19.34

I'm a little frustrated.
- I downloaded efs-1.16 in order to be up-to-date and the hope to get
an efs version that would work with GNU emacs 20.3
- This *REQUIRED* the installation of dired-7.9.
In dired-7.9 installation:
No mentioning of GNU Emacs 20.x [ok; I thought 19.34 should work]
--> BUT: Font-lock stops working when I use dired-7.9,
both with GNU Emacs 19.34 and 20.3.
EVEN WORSE: because 'characterp' is used in dired.el and is *NOT* in
19.34, I cannot (e.g.) copy files anymore (within dired) !!
Patch? Help, please ?!?
