I just spent the best part of a day trying to figure out why something was happening differently on 32- and 64-bit PPC. It turned out that what was happening was that one was decoding the string "OpenJDK  VM" while the other was decoding "OpenJDK 64-Bit  VM". I should feel pleased — things are working as they should — but it’s given me a headache.

Anyway, the point of this entry is that while I was in there I checked out that double-space. It was trying to insert "Server" or "Client", but of course mine has neither. It occurred to me that having undocumented variants of OpenJDK out there with weird identifiers could be slightly disturbing, so if you’re Googling this in the future trying to figure out what an "OpenJDK Aztec VM" or an "OpenJDK 64-Bit Aztec VM" is then this is the documentation: you’re using my stuff.
