    How would I know?  My machine has 128M RAM, ps says something like
    this:

Compare them with the addresses of the first and last stack frames.

    Ok, in the current example, I am looking for 0xbfffdb04.

    I'm not sure What you mean by "contains that address".

Each stack frame is a block of memory at a range of addresses.
Which stack frame is that address in?

    The addresses seemed to increase linearly.  Here a small sample to
    give you an impression, stepping through 10 frames at a time.

    Stack level 12, frame at 0xbfffdf18:

The target, 0xbfffdb04, is smaller than that address, so it must be in
a frame lower than 12.  Please look at the addresses of those frames.
