Details:

I noticed a problem while playing around with the hardstatus option of
.screenrc. When trying to use the %= option, I found that "right-aligned" text
was aligning 15 columns to the left of where the right boundary should have
been. My terminal size was 270 columns wide, and so this turns out to be
exactly 255 characters.

I see in resize.c the line

    wi = ((wi + 1) + 255) & ~255;

I believe increasing 255 to 511 is a reasonable solution to this problem. I
have attached my suggestion for patching this file.
