It *should* look like this.  This -3 option was implemented with the 
supportsMMR part:

do case "$1" in
    -o) shift; out=$1 ;;
    -l) shift; opt="$opt -l $1" ;;
    -w) shift; opt="$opt -w $1" ;;
    -r) shift; opt="$opt -r $1" ;;
    -1) opt="$opt $1"; df="g3:1d" ;;
    -2) opt="$opt $1"; df="g3:2d" ;;
    -3) opt="$opt $1"; df=g4 ;;
    -m) shift;;                         # NB: not implemented
    *)  fil="$fil $1" ;;
    esac
    shift
done                                                          

I'm guessing something went wrong with your install or upgrade.
