host command behavior changed?

I recently upgraded to bind 9.3.0. The `host' command apparently works differently. If I look up an A record, it also tries to look up AAAA and MX records, which I don't want it to do.
% host -t A MyTest localhost
Using domain server:
Name: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Aliases:
MyTest.mydomain.com has address 1.2.3.4
Using domain server:
Name: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Aliases:
Using domain server:
Name: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Aliases:
I didn't know why it showed 3 stanzas until I added -d. I see that it makes 3 queries:
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;MyTest.mydomain.com. IN A
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;MyTest.mydomain.com. IN AAAA
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;MyTest.mydomain.com. IN MX
Since I use `host' in scripts, I don't want this behavior. How do I make it act like it did in 9.2.0? I don't recall seeing anything in the release notes about this.
TIA,
Ian
