Hello Brian, I went back and checked the history of this ManyFiles test. The 
original test did not have the check to skip running on Linux. I do see which 
commit introduced that check but it doesn't have any additional details other 
than the brief code comment which said "Linux does not yet allow opening this 
many files". That was back in 2003. 

So I think the removal of this check and `@requires` is fine.

I would suggest doing a similar run without specifying a specific test 
platform. That way it will get run on all relevant platforms. I don't expect it 
to fail, but it would be good to have that tested before this is integrated.
