fix add_menu_coloring() buffer overrun

Browse Source 
Fix 'Bug 2' where too long MENUCOLOR=string in run-time config file
could overflow a local buffer and clobber the stack.

Theoretically a menu coloring regular expression could require a
bigger buffer but I don't think we need to try to support that.
255 characters minus the amount needed to specify color and/or
attributes should be ample.
