Just over a year ago we had a discussion on stack size here.

You'll need one stack for C or two stacks for Forth.

You'll need about 32 for Forth at a minimum.

Philip Koopman did a simulation of register spills versus stack size in
1990 for Forth.  "The right answer, then, to how big stacks should be is
16 or 32 elements, no more" said Philip Koopman in "Design Tradeoffs in
Stack Computers," Forth Dimensions, Volume 11 Number 6, March/April
1990.
