Rejected.  limits_test.cpp only exists to test how usable
the provided std::numeric_limits<> is.  If, like the Sun
compiler, it produces an internal compiler error, that's
a valid test result, to show off to the world.

And it means that std::numeric_limits<> is probably not
useful on that compiler.
