>Description:
	the vgrind man page documents the "-t" option thusly:
	  > -t  similar to the same option in troff causing formatted text
          >     to go to the standard output

	In reality, it does not. the "-t" is handed to "psroff" (which
	has no man page, but is simple enough to follow reading the source).

	"psroff" then passes this along with a "-l" (among others) to "groff"

	"groff" interprets "-t" as "Preprocess with gtbl" and
	"-l" as "Send the output to a printer..."


>How-To-Repeat:
	type:
	    vgrind -t foo.c
	watch output go to printer

>Fix:
	adjust psroff to not pass "-l" to groff

	adjust vgrind to pass "-l" to psroff only if not handed a "-t"
