Is there a predefined probe to check for stack corruption?

Not officially, but we have written stackcheck.apc for a customer. This version is just for Windows, and checks that the return address is not corrupted on_entry and on_exit to all instrumented functions. instrumentation is hard-coded in the probe for now. A configuration file or separate cconfiguration probe could be added to handle specifying the instrumentation points.
