You are right... But sizeof() returns 81 (MENU_COLS + 1) in this case.
So how about this?
-- 
main(a,b){char*/*    Schoene Gruesse                         */c="B?IJj;M"
"EHCX:;";for(a/*    Chris           get my mail address:    */=0;b=c[a++];)
putchar(b-1/(/*               gcc -o sig sig.c && ./sig    */b/42*2-3)*42);}
