Oooo, I was having trouble because of the way that they are written.
The first number only has 7 digits.  So it's actually:

0x082097e8
0xbfb99b78

Now it's much more obvious that "0x08" is right at the top (heap) and
"0xbf" is near the bottom (stack).  Thanks to Raphael for private
messaging me this answer :-)

Although, 0xbf  seems to be roughly 1GB from the end ( 1.00429643
gigabytes according to google).  This seems like a very large stack.
Is this reasonable?
