Increasing the stack size might solve this particular example, but a
bigger program would fail in the same way.

Most operating systems provide a way to receive stack overflow signals
on an alternate stack, so you can at least print out an error message.
It may be possible to arrange to longjmp() back to a safe state, and
recover from the error.
