SLOF always shows 64-bit registers; SLOF only ever runs as 64-bit program. The *client* program can be 32-bit of course, but the dump of SRR1 here shows SF=1 (the top bit there). No idea what was running at the time, but something in the kernel I guess? (To show the last set client state, use ciregs .regs the thing exceptions print is via eregs .regs so you'll probably figure out the format ;-) ) If the client program is a 32-bit ELF file, SLOF starts the client program with SF=0.
