[plt-scheme] I don't understand libraries

If you disable debugging, then it only prints once (at least in the
latest git-based version). Debugging is implemented by expanding the
program and then inserting instrumentation code and then re-expanding,
so that accounts for two of the prints, but I'm not sure where the
third is coming from.

But in general, in that program, you are going to get one print each
time it is expanded.
