You need at the very least 4 bytes of stack space to call anything
(for the return address), on top of that space for any parameters and
local variables. Imagine the error message you see requires 24 bytes
of stack space to be displayed. If you got your stack error when
requesting <=24 bytes on the stack, then the message cannot be
displayed. However if you got a stack error when asking for >24 bytes
then there may be enough on the stack for the message.

properly handling stack overflows would be pretty difficult.
Of course trace(3) is the thing to do when you get stuck.
