Index:	grap.d/print.c - Documenter's Workbench, 2.0

Description:
	Grap isn't closing all its files.  Specifically, for every
	"copy thru" that it encounters, it opens its temporary file
	twice, but only closes it once.

Repeat-By:
	Create a file with a lot of "copy thru".  On 4.3 BSD (which allows
	64 open files per process) grap died on about the 60'th copy
	thru file.

Fix:
	The function reset() is being called twice, causing the tempfile	
	to be opened twice.  The following patch corrects the problem.
