USHORT_MAX and USHORT_MIN would be indistinguishable. That pair makes even more sense to be shortened. Maybe the idea was to keep the signed and unsigned names consistent.

I think we have a winner! If you can find a first-edition version of K&R's "The C Programming Language," section 2.2 specifies that the preprocessor only uses the first eight characters of macro names for matching. It seems likely that these headers are old enough to be impacted.
