+ This option checks for a stack overrun on calls to schedule().
+ If the stack end location is found to be over written always panic as
+ the content of the corrupted region can no longer be trusted.
+ This is to ensure no erroneous behaviour occurs which could result in
+ data corruption or a sporadic crash at a later stage once the region
+ is examined. The runtime overhead introduced is minimal.
