Me too -- the categories part.  The one that breaks down is
the registered-libraries part (of combrowse.py).

The fix is in HLIHeadingRegisterdTypeLibs -- as the error
is an UnboundLocalError on 'name' at the line:

ret.append(HLIRegisteredTypeLibrary((keyName, versionStr), name))

I just set name to None right before the try/finally, and
guarded this specific line with an 'if name is not None:';
it now works fine (so I haven't looked deeper at WHAT was
causing the wrong behavior -- no doubt some craziness in
my registry, since other tools trying to systematically
parse it are also prone to funky breakdowns).
