[Hardy] SRU: Fix an off-by-two memory error in console selection.

[Stefan Bader]

[no bug opened yet]

SRU justification:

Impact: Selection on a UTF-8 console can lead to memory corruption. This fix 
came down throuch 2.6.27.15 but I think it is simple ad important enough to add 
to Hardy as a SRU.

Fix: Change memory calculation to add the additional character before multiplying.

Testcase: When memory redzones are enabled, a redzone corruption is reported.
When they are not enabled, trashing of random memory occurs.

When all other means of communication fail, try words!
