You need Whitehead primer3 version 3.0.9, not 3.0.6

>From the eprimer3 documentation:

The Whitehead Institute program that is run by this program is available
from:
http://www-genome.wi.mit.edu/genome_software/other/primer3.html 
(Then see the link 'Get release 0.9') 

The version that is run by this program is 3.0.9 currently available
from:
http://www-genome.wi.mit.edu/ftp/distribution/software/primer3_0_9_test.tar.gz
