[syslinux] [PATCH 1/2] com32: Fix bugs on cmd_reverse_search (Triple fault dimension)

cmd_reverse_search has a bug that the variable cursor is updated even if a command
wasn't found. If this happens, and the next key falls into the default case,
memmove's size parameter would be a negative number.

This bug can be reproduced by doing the following:
On cmd_reverse_search (ctrl-r), type multiple keys at the same time.
'Enjoy' the triple fault and a screen of random colors.

There is also a small bug that turns the task of using ctrl-R on the very first command
impossible. Previously, this command was discarted.
