I guess there are more than I thought.
(I thought it was just one, based on a discussion with Philippe.)

So, you're right: there are more tests now that will refuse to run on
non-Linux platforms.

Those tests are:
206
207
208
209
210
211
212
213
218
219
235
236
237
238
242
246
248
254
255
256

What sets these apart from the other python-based tests? Nothing in
particular? Just depends on who copied from whom that day. I don't think
there's any rhyme or reason to any of it.

I don't really have a BSD or OSX machine to test which ones should and
should not be limited, either.

Kevin, do you remember why we added these checks?
