is there a call that you can have at runtime to determine how much stack is
left? and or any other memory aspects?

I have a program that is very sensitive to stack overflow but I know
I am at least 15 to 20 levels of function calls. Plus I have a bit
of local veriable space in these functions also. I have had to move
some local variables to global space and had to put a limit on
recursive calls.
8 sounds a bit small.
