Because its not right above, all of the other register values are

32bit and 64bit stacks are not identical.

Ed,

Actually, what I said above is not quite right.  I think that
its not the other registers but the alignment that is making
the stacks different.  I took another look at the AMD64 Architecture
Programmers Manual, Volume 2: System Programming manual.  This is
discussed in section 8.9 Long-Mode Interrupt Control Transfers.  You
can see how the stack is different vs. the discussion in section 8.7.

Thanks,
Jerry
