Machine() function not showing Mac?

Perhaps it should be suggested to use the return value of the "machine" 
shell command, rather than the toolbox call, under OS X?  Anyone care 
enough about this to submit a bugzilla entry?

I for one get "unknown" from the machine() call in Rev, but running 
"machine" from a Terminal window results in "ppc7400", which at least 
means something.

Using "uname -m" yields "Power Macintosh", btw...
