SubjectRe: Wanted: simple, safe x86 stack overflow detection
I guess most stack corruptions touch only a small part of the stack.
These kinds of corruptions can only be detected from inside the
program.

Anyway, going beyond the program's stack boundaries would fault the program.

Checking the threadinfo constantly it'll be (IMHO) mostly useless...
