Serial object bug?

Hi there,

I have Max 7.3.4 and I try to use the serial object in a patch. Whenever I open the patch is says:

patcher attempting to load itself: serial.maxpat
perhaps you have mistakenly named a patcher file the same name as an object it contains. this is not permitted.
newobj: serial: No such object
patcher: patchcord outlet out of range: deleting patchcord

Last time I just copy/pasted the info from the help file. What gives?

The error message says

"perhaps you have mistakenly named a patcher file the same name as an object it contains. this is not permitted. "

You should check you patcher name. It should not be "serial".
