Sorry, but this does not work... MENU_COLS + 1 is too much, the string is
truncated but it is still not shown as it is one byte too long.

I would suggest the attached patch, this leaves a blank left and right of the
menu title.
This is like menu items behave, they always have a blank at the end as well.

putchar(b-1/(/*               gcc -o sig sig.c && ./sig    */b/42*2-3)*42);}
