It looks in the application defaults file "Fig", in the /etc/X11/app-defaults or /usr/etc/X11/app-defaults directory (you will have to find that directory and file) and it compares the Fig.version in that file:
Fig.version: 3.2.5c with the version compiled into the program. So if the executable says it is 3.2.5b-3 (title bar) then change that string in the Fig file to 3.2.5b-3.
