The cut marks are from the MM macro package.  They really shouldn't
be there unless you've specified -Taps as the device.  There is a
macro ")k" that makes cut marks, but the last line of /usr/lib/macro/mmt
should get rid of it automatically:

	.if !^G\*(.T^Gaps^G .rm)k

I don't know why you'd get the cut marks otherwise.
