I guess this is lost in the mists of time, but rtest16 was supposed to be a
grab bag of all the bugs that were fixed to make it easy to find bugs.  But
this was never really documented, except, perhaps in passing on the list.

I guess rtest16 has outlived its usefulness, and tests should be placed in
the appropriate file, when possible.  Especially if the bug number stays
with the test.  Of course, some of the other test files are a kind of
random collection too. :-)
