the vgrind man page documents the "-t" option thusly:

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"
