The r32... registers are rotating registers.  They change with the
stack frame.  I don't recall how gdb(crash) does it, but they should
be associated with the stack frame.  The registers have special meaning
depending upon the first "instruction" of the function which tells the
processor where to advance the rotating point to.

Take a look at the backtrace.  I think the registers will show up there.

I will look at the ia64 book when I get to the office and see if I
can remember how the rotate works, where the backing store is for
the registers, etc.

Good Luck Jay,
Robin
