I had a hard time trying to understand completely why it is using vm_end in one side of the expression and vm_start in the other one, and using something in the "if" clause that is not an exact copy of what is used below. The whole point is that the stack_size variable that was used in the "if" clause is the difference between vm_start and vm_end, which is not far away but makes this thing harder to read than it must be.
