That's in my path and executable (I tried compiling mutt as root).

Quoting from "man uname": 

If the -a option is given, the selected information is printed in the
order `snrvm' with a space between items.  

~# uname -a
Linux thebetteros 2.0.34 #1 Fri Jan 29 01:44:57 CET 1999 i586 unknown
~#

I was not able to isolate the "unknown", machine is i586 (Pentium 90).

>Hopefully that might be enough to help...

Thanks for your feedback, I'm a little worried about that "unknown",
that might indeed be the cause for my troubles, wonder what's wrong
here.

Kind regards    Frederick
