wow64exts, or, where are the 32 bit stacks

in WINDBG
Hoping for a bit of guidance here from folk with more experience of using wow64exts.
OK. So. Driver developer here: when I fire up WinDbg it's normally to do some kernel-mode debugging. However, sometimes when people's machines lock up, they either generate a full memory dump or we attach WinDbg and pull one down the wire.
Often the cause of the lockup lies in the (32 bit) user mode code, so ideally we'd like to analyze these dumps and see the 32 bit stacks even if the dump came from a 64 bit box. But I can't seem to get 'em.
I've been given one such dump to look at to try and *find* the 32 bit stacks.
Well I can do a !process 0 0 and see the 32 bit process there - fine. I can dump its thread stacks (lots of wow64cpu!blah at the bottom... okay...).

I suspect there is some key fact I'm not aware of here.
I did have a look in the windbg help but as I interpreted it, if you're grabbing a *full* memory dump it doesn't matter whether the machine running windbg - or the version of windbg being run - is 64 bit or not. So it must be something else - any help gratefully received.

the current implementation or a limitation. I'll demonstrate what I'm seeing
on a live dump as it ends better than the crash dump version
I force a context switch to a 32bit process in WinDBG via .process /i, in
this case I picked 32bit IE:
0: kd> !process -1 0
PROCESS fffffa8002455340

I then switch to a thread in the process and attempt to do !wow64exts.k,
which meets the same fate as yours:

If you hook a debugger up to this, the stack walk is failing by raising an
exception:
0:003> kc
Call Site
KERNELBASE!RaiseException

A call to GetExplicitContext fails, so DbgEng is reporting error 0x1038 (not
sure what that stands for).
After playing with it a bit more, I had a theory that the problem has to do
with the context at the time of the last debugger event. I think that
because we're in 64bit code the 32bit stack walk command is getting confused
and refusing to run. So, I set a breakpoint in the wow64 layer, hit Go,
tried again, and the command works like a charm:

This doesn't bode overly well for doing this from a crash dump though I
don't play with this all that often, so maybe there's a workaround (or I'm
just insane and doing something wrong also).

So, the magic incantation to get back from .thread /w appears to be:

Is that correct?
Thanks!

day...
In the end, I guess it would be nice if !wow64exts.k was updated to hide all
of this from us.

Implicit thread is now blah

... .and lo! a 32 bit call stack!
(Having previously
kd>.process /p /r blahblahprocaddress )
That's brilliant - now I know how to coax the information out... oh happy day! Thanks Pavel.
I know this an old thread but this problem still happens all the time. When .thread /w doesn't work, I do the following:
kd> .thread ETHREAD
kd> !teb
kd> dds StackLimit StackBase
The stack values are plucked from the TEB32 section.
