Ah, I assumed that 16 was just 15+1 and no-one had incremented to
rtest17 yet! What I've been doing (or trying to do) was adding a new
test-case to the bottom of rtest16 when fixing a bug. Unfortunately,
rtest16 is now pretty enormous (it's one of the files that takes the
longest in a testsuite run)

So I think it probably makes sense to split it up a bit. My logic was
that anything calling limit() was probably exercising similar code, so I
could lump it together in one file as a first approximation to the
"ideal" partition into files. I was careful to move the comments with
bug numbers over (of course!)

But I'm not claiming to know the ideal layout! If you have strong
feelings, I'll happily revert this change.
