Thank you for your report.  That was fixed on 2001-05-05.  The current
text says this:

  -1              suppress lines unique to FILE1
  -2              suppress lines unique to FILE2
  -3              suppress lines that appear in both files

You seem to be using an old version of textutils.  Note that texutils
has been combined with fileutils and shellutils into a combined
package called coreutils.  There have been many changes so be sure to
review the NEWS file.

Latest stable release:
    ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.2.1.tar.gz   (6.3MB)
    ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.2.1.tar.bz2   (4.1MB)
    (coreutils is the union of fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils)

Here is the announcement text:
