Hi Sean,

thanks a lot for the fast response. I've updated the bug entry as
requested and will push the change - maybe with the following
potential improvement:

@Hiroshi: also maybe not that performance relevant, I think we should
we also fix sun/security/provider/ByteArrayAccess.java which contains
the same construct:

     // Return whether this platform supports full speed int/long memory access
     // at unaligned addresses.
     // This code was copied from java.nio.Bits because there is no equivalent
     // public API.
     private static boolean unaligned() {
         String arch = java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged
             (new sun.security.action.GetPropertyAction("os.arch", ""));
         return arch.equals("i386") || arch.equals("x86") || 
arch.equals("amd64")
             || arch.equals("x86_64");
     }

Regards,
Volker
