[GiNaC-list] Possible size issue in test in numeric.cpp

Also, CLN's documentation states that |i| < 2^29, which means that the test 
in GiNaC for integers could be broken as well, as it does 

       i >= -(1L << (cl_value_len-1)) 

which allows |i| == 2^29 when i is -2^29 (assuming cl_value_len == 30). 

Cheers, p.
