No worries, if we create a similar Intel metric it will likely exhibit
a similar issue in the test. Arnaldo and I have wondered about having
an all architectures mode for jevents to make it easier to test cases
like this. As my PowerPC set up is a bit special it is great that
you've confirmed this isn't at fault :-) I'll try to get time to dig a
little further.
