Not only autoboot countdown and last boot entry is broken but also keys
UP and DOWN and broken on _terminal_. When I do not press any key on
terminal for 3 seconds then pressing DOWN quits bootmenu. Git bisect
found same above commit. Maybe added "case '\e':" in above commit into
/* ^C was pressed */ branch cause it?
