Either you have an Intel i6395286 chip in your machine or you're running
into a cygwin.dll bug. I have a hunch as to which is more likely. :-)
What's happening is that uname() isn't setting the processor level
correctly. uname() gets some of its info using the SYSTEM_INFO struct.
This structure has various members many of which aren't supported under
both Windows 95 and NT. :-( I've fixed the development sources so uname
will behave better under Windows 95 in future releases.
