I guess it would be better if that function returned a signed short so
you don't have to cast it here. (You're casting it to an unsigned long
below anyway.)

Ditto.

That 0x7 doesn't look like 0xfff - it shifts limit by 15 instead. You
can simply write it like you mean it:

	limit = (limit << 12) + 0xfff;
