The JDK in Isabelle_23-Apr-2012_bundle_x86-linux.tar.gz seams to be the
64-bit version:

Isabelle_23-Apr-2012/contrib/jdk-7u3_x86-linux/jdk1.7.0_03/bin/java:
ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, not stripped

I already have a download button, I hope it is still on my laptop. I
will sent it to you when I'm at home.
