Fatal error: Cannot redeclare contact_views_api()

I get the following error upon installing the latest dev version of Contact.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare contact_views_api() (previously declared in /home7/xxx/public_html/sites/all/modules/contact/contact.module:285) in /home7/xxx/public_html/sites/all/modules/views/includes/handlers.inc on line 1390

below is the section starting at line 280 causing the error in contact
/**
* Implements hook_views_api().
*
function contact_views_api() {
return array(
'api' => 2,
'path' => drupal_get_path('module', 'contact'),
);
}

and here is line 1390 from views handlers.inc
function contact_views_api() { return views_views_api(); }
