+/* Safety net to check whether frame ID L should be inner to

+
+ This method cannot be used to compare arbitrary frames, as the

+ to sigaltstack).
+
+ However, it can be used as safety net to discover invalid frame
+ IDs in certain circumstances.

+ * If frame NEXT is the immediate inner frame to THIS, and NEXT
+ is a NORMAL frame, then the stack address of NEXT must be
+ inner-than-or-equal to the stack address of THIS.
+
+ Therefore, if frame_id_inner (THIS, NEXT) holds, some unwind
+ error has occurred.
+
+ * If frame NEXT is the immediate inner frame to THIS, and NEXT
+ is a NORMAL frame, and NEXT and THIS have different stack
+ addresses, no other frame in the frame chain may have a stack
+ address in between.
+
+ Therefore, if frame_id_inner (TEST, THIS) holds, but
+ frame_id_inner (TEST, NEXT) does not hold, TEST cannot refer
+ to a valid frame in the frame chain. */
