Once fixed please send me updated sources/diff so I can keep our private copy in sync.

Here is the code for Solaris CPU Manufacturer. 
 private String getSolarisCpuManufacturer() {
        // not fully accurate, this could be another manufacturer (fujitsu for example)
        if ("sparc".equalsIgnoreCase(System.getProperty("os.arch"))) {
            return "Sun Microsystems, Inc";
        }

        // if we're here, then we'll try smbios (type 3)
        return getSmbiosData("3", "Manufacturer: ");
    }
However it is needed to check the paramter "4" to get CPU information.

EVALUATION It's a bug. The processor information is of type "4" instead of "3" in SMBIOS data according to http://www.dmtf.org/standards/published_documents/DSP0134_2.6.0.pdf. Will fix it in the next release.
