top: address 'show_special()' o-o-b read/write concern

Browse Source 
This patch addresses a potential (but unlikely) buffer
overflow by reducing, if necessary, a memcpy length by
3 bytes to provide for an eol '\0' and 2 unused buffer
positions which also might receive the '\0' character.

[ note to future analysis tool: just because you see ]
[ binary data being manipulated in the routine, that ]
[ doesn't mean such function was passed binary data! ]
