[svn-r3726]

Purpose:
    Problem suppressing
Description:
    The dsets.cpp/compression (write) test failed on eirene for
    1.4 branch.  I suspected that the problem had something to do with
    the word size (32 vs. 64), but I'm not sure.  Elena and Quincey
    agreed that we take the test out for now since we don't have
    a fix for it at this time.
Solution:
    Used #if defined (__linux__) to temporarily disable the
    test_compression test for this platform.
Platforms tested:
    arabica (solaris 2.7)
    eirene (linux 6.2)
