I doubt that it exists, because such a check is completely unnecessary if your random number generator is good (and if it's not then you should not be using it anyway).  Concern about address collision is a very common misconception about Bitcoin.  See https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/8804/is-each-bitcoin-address-unique.
