There was a change to the step format a while back to make it more
permissive to syntax errors, but it changed the meaning of single colon
statements from step:hyps to step:thm. So that means that you have to write
4:3: instead of 4:3 if you want "3" to be interpreted as a hypothesis and
not a statement. Like so:

h1000              |- ( ph -> ps )
h200               |- ( ps -> ch )
h30                |- ( ch -> th )
3:200:              |- ( ph -> ( ps -> ch ) )
4:3:                |- ( ( ph -> ps ) -> ( ph -> ch ) )
qed:1000,4:         |- ( ph -> ch )

The hypothesis steps don't need the colons because they have no hypotheses
(so h1000 will automatically be turned into h1000:: ).
