the first column contains a space token, and the last row contains
your final reset.


\def\makeform{
	\acol & \bcol & \ccol \\ \hline
	\RESET}

See you have a space after the {
normally LaTeX ignores spaces at the beginning of an entry, but that
space is not the first thing in the first column, ie the first thing
after the \\ that is the \RESET from the previous \makeform

Similarly there should not be a \\ after the final row of a tabular,
sometimes you can get away with it, but usually you can not, and in
this case you end up with a row just containg \reset so you get a
first entry of a final row that has nothing in it except the vertical
rules.


\def\makeform{%
	\acol & \bcol & \ccol \\ \hline
	\noalign{\RESET}}


probably gets you nearer the mark, although you may still have to be
careful with your tail.tex, to avoid generating an extra row at the
end.
