I guess it's your OS more than the Java VM. What does uname -a say?

Maybe we should look at making arch a bit more generic, like "family" is?
Works for me, if we add our knowledge about arch families on top of os.arch. I.e. both arch="i386" and arch="x86" should work on your system.
something like: 8086, 80286, i?86, x86
There is a risk we are vulnerable to making the wrong guess, a bit like that time that Java1.4 added explicit knowledge of WinXP and some things that guessed the OS broke. Things that mattered like <property environment>, as I recall :(
