I located the problem; I did (n*sizeof(struct)+1) instead of
(n+1)*sizeof(struct). Apparently two entries in the menu were OK, but
3+ triggered an overflow somewhere. I *think*. Please test; I've
checked in the change.
(a "make choose_medium_test" will let you test this specific menu
without building the whole shebang).
